<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2970893, member: 77704&quot;]Actually, I have NEVER ever met a person that thought &quot;ancient&quot; coins were fake. The ONLY thing that some wonder about, is how a coin that is 2000 years old looks as if it were struck a few minutes ago. My explanation, there were always coin collectors that hoarded away these, esp. the gold/ silver ones. Also, with turbulent times they were hoarded and hidden for safe keeping in pots/ chests/ pottery vessals, later to be found by metal detectorists/ treasure hunters. I find it more amazing that how many GEM-66 obsolete banknotes from the 1840s still exist. Unfortunately, here where I live.....one sometimes finds a 1900 large cent/ no gold here<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Actually, I did find a 1900-H large cent walking to meet my school bus<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> My birthplace Julich-Cleve-Berg would have been a great place to find coins/ the Duchy issued beautifull goldgulden/dukats/ carolin AV coinage from 1300-1750.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
