<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3902413, member: 91609&quot;][USER=99613]@Numisnewbiest[/USER], great article (&amp; really nice blog - The History Blog)!&nbsp; Thanks for posting this!</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I&#039;m wondering if the accompanying pic is of the actual find or merely a file photo?&nbsp; (The article itself makes no comment/reference to the pic.; only describes the coins found.)</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, the coins, having been buried for so long <u>in no surviving container</u>, cannot have looked that good right out of the ground.&nbsp; The article was posted 11/25/2019 but makes no mention of the discovery date.&nbsp; My instinct tells me it was a recent find, so probably not enough time to clean them all to the condition of the pictured coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, that doesn&#039;t look (to me) like 293 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
