[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 2223914, member: 74222"]Radiocarbon-dating does have an inaccuracy of plus-minus 75 years or 200 years depending the materials you are testing. An accuracy of plus-minus 200 years would be fantastic in term of dating ancient numismatic coins. However a radiocarbon-dating will not work on coins as coins are not organic unlike papyrus for instance. But how about a radiometric dating, would it work on coins? I am asking because I did not find answers from google and nor does the topic seem to have been debated here.[/QUOTE]
