Mike Jack Valued Member New Zealand 77 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 11:21 am 400-350 BC The oldest coin currently in my possession was a present for my eldest son :) I bought it around 18 months ago and my eldest son will be three in August 2013. Coin is: Anonymous Greek City Issue of Maroneia 400-350 BC OBV: Horse prancing right with monogram below. REV: Linear square contain vine with monogram below. MINT: Maroneia, Thrace My youngest son's (he is 5 months old) oldest coin is 1870... But the eldest has the stamp/FDC collection, and the youngest has the coin/medal/token collection. Which means that I now need to find an ancient coin for the little chap to add to his already extensive collection.... kids are expensive :P Report this Post to the Staff
