<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3741571, member: 96864&quot;]Sweet finds galba! The Celtic tetradrachm came out nice and that newly dug denarius looks like it&#039;ll clean up very well.

Rusty crusty and not as pretty as a nice chunk of Celtic silver, but representative of a facet of life that coins don&#039;t usually communicate. I wish I could go dig up a nice tetradrachm because with the wide range of styles I&#039;m not very good at differentiating between genuine ones and well made fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
