Nathan, that coin gets juicier the more I look at it, it's gorgeous! The only coin I have that has the same effect on me is the tunny fish one I got from your good self. 'we wants it my precious.....'

lod254,
I assume when the coin was made the plant had not gone extinct yet.
And I presume that if the location of the mint of the coin can be identified
then the location in which to search for DNA can be narrowed.
Thanks for making me think.

Naw man. Been out of town overseeing some analysis in Boston.

Tell me Kev, what do you like most? The condition, the rarity or the fact that the ancient looked out of the field and saw but a few plants, said oh well and went on feeling delicious. Haha

I love it Nathan, the story behind it, the shape, the tone, everything. I can almost imagine how good it feels in the hand. Superb coin
I might well be hanging around here later.....

Glad you guys like this one. Few coins strike me like this one. I am more than pleased with the condition and toning. It's true, seek and you shall find.
