<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2888428, member: 76194&quot;]Created by merging neutron stars, captured by the early Earth from a nebula cloud and stired in the molten interiors of the young planet, then deposited by volcanic activity Billions of years ago in what would eventually become the continent of Europe. Mined by Carthagenian slaves in the silver mines of Hispania (Spain) in late 146 or early 145 BCE, and struck in Rome in 145 BCE, probably by Macedonian Greek slaves captured from the recent Macedonian Wars. Then spent by ancient Romans and burried in a hoard for two millennia until dug up. Eventually it entered the marketplace and was sold by NFC in the early 1970s in a mail auction for $94 Dollars, and then resold by the dealer Joel Matel in 1977 for $96 Dollars. Eventually sold to Civitas Galleries (probably as part of an estate sale) in the 2010&#039;s and purchased by me in 2016 for $140.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]693648[/ATTACH]</p><p>M.
