[QUOTE="eminer, post: 642152, member: 19669"]I know little about coins - just have a question. About 40 years ago when my son was a youngster, interested in collecting, we visited Greece. In an "old art store", I asked if they had any old coins. The man in charge shook his head and then blinked and indicated "wait". I could see him in his backroom going through pocket in an old coat. He returned with the following, and I paid a small amount for it. This coin is about size of a US nickel... worn and flat around edges and no longer perfectly round due to age...copper color....cant see image on one side ...but on other is a very visable cross with round ball shapes on the end of each arm of the cross. There are other decorative markings but not easy to describe. I went to library and looked through coin books but I could not find any with a cross. A modern coin collector said ....it was probably early Christian....he also mentioned: don't lose it ! ! Possiby I could supply photo Annette[/QUOTE]
