I found this one in a pile of assorted junk coins. I never thought much about it. I showed it to a friend who thought it was real. I posted the pics in the Ancient Coin thread and the ancient coin guys agree that she's good. Here is what Gil-galad said about the coin: Augustus Denarius. Lyons mint, 2 BC - ca 13 AD. CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE. laureate head right / AVGVSTI F COS DESIG PRINC IVVENT, C L CAESARES below, Gaius & Lucius standing front, each with a hand resting on a round shield, a spear, & in field above, a lituus right & simpulum left (in "b9"-like formation). BMC 533, RSC 43. RIC 207.   This would be the OLDEST coin in my collection. Edited by mds308

svslav => that's a beauty!! Thanks, stevex5.999...! I was lucky to run into it when I was in high school and get it for what would be considered ridiculously cheap nowadays. And I could only drool over your ancients! |

Saw this topic and got excited to show my favorite silver coin! Reading through has been an eye opener, gorgeous coins! And the history is fantastic. My entry feels a bit out of place but I'm proud of it so all speed ahead.    The holder is a mess but it's a pretty coin. I've been watching ebay for years to find the Apollo commems from T&C ; got this one from a seller in the UK. Here it is reflected off my blue shirt instead of the sky.   |

. I just scored a great hit today and this is the best thread to do it. I purchased twenty Cinco Peso (5 dollar) 1948 Mexican 90 percent silver coins. All look like UNCS. I never had any or seen them so I had to have them.
came from the sweet earth.
