Yes... 911? My thread has been hijacked. Please send assistance.

On the flipside maybe I won't call them. I'll let my tommy gun do the talking. =P

Nice coins... if only the Kushans knew how to organize a clam bake I may have been on to something. Who knows... I think chalking it up to a collector dropping it is too easy of an explanation. The coin was found 40 years ago about a foot into the ground. I would put money on it that there is more there and considering the condition of the coin, probably wasn't a collector's item. I'm thinking of something much more insidious. Like... slave trade.

I had to attempt to stick up for myself just a tiny bit. I'm growing more fond of coins the longer this thread gets... post away. The whole 2000 year old thing has me intrigued.

Bear in mind that ancient coin collecting has been going on for a long time with, as Wayne Sayles points out in his "Ancient Coin Collecting" book, a "nineteenth century.expansion of the common man's participation in (the hobby)." It's not too uncommon for ancients, having been brought over - then lost - by European immigrants, to be found/dug up in odd spots throughout North America...although - granted - these are usually of the ancient Greek and Roman varieties.

One example featured on CCF several years ago was literally titled "Did the Carthaginians set foot in Nova Scotia?" (a rather uncommon Carthaginian coin was found in said part of Canada).
