Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 04/28/2017 9:35 pm I recently purchased this coin from ebay because I wanted to add an older coin to my collection. Can anyone tell me if it's real and what it's worth, I paid $5 for it. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 04/28/2017 10:17 pm It looks like a Christina silver solidus. I think it's real because it's a common coin, and worth $5-10. http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coi...n_coin=18501 My favorite coins from that period are the Bohemian Pragergroschens. Thin and kind of tinny, about the size of a quarter. They have a great lion on them and every one of them is different. https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=s...87&cid=11664 "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 04/28/2017 10:26 pm Thank you! I wasn't expecting them to be so thin and small. This one is a little smaller than a dime. What's cool to me is that it was shipped from Riga, Latvia, making it the first time it's been out of the country.. If only every coin came with a personal story Edited by Alex12780 04/28/2017 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
