<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1357662, member: 26302&quot;]Ok, I will try:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Excavators dig up everything they find. They pull out anything that looks worthwhile and sell the dregs who sell to dealers on Ebay. Any Ebay uncleaned coin has been looked at probably 10 times for anything of value.</p><p>2. He didn&#039;t throw them in, they were already there from the fields, he just didn&#039;t pick them out. Of course they have dirt on them, they were buried.</p><p>3. The features were worn from circulation before they were lost. Think of them as a VG coin from circulation before it got buried.</p><p>4. Makes sense, if they dug the coins up in Yugoslavia, were you expecting South African coins to be mixed in???</p><p>5. If you are not an expert, how do you know those website matches were exact? Post any coin you think is fake here and we can help.</p><p>6. You are wrong. Even &quot;salt money&quot; was coins paid to soldiers so they themselves could buy salt.</p><p>7. Roman coins are common, most musuems have more than they want. The government in England will keep rare coins, but pay the finder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every month people come here posting how &quot;they couldn&#039;t possibly be real&quot;. To say so is really an insult to antiquity. These things were made by the BILLIONS. They are not all little unique hand crafted treasures, they were mass produced on an industrial scale. Sorry, but it reminds me of those who try to say the ancient Egyptians did not build the pyramids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
