@ETPP, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please explain the second part of your thread's title?

Ok interesting. I think that this might be the first coin ever posted on CCF that mentions being found in or near a vacuum cleaner.

I changed your user name, it was a bit suggestive and inappropriate. If you would like a different name. Send a note to staff and I will change it.- echizento

Haha yeah for a while I thought maybe it could of been a token due to the material of the coin then I went to a coin appraiser hd he said it's an ancient coin, I was excited as I've never seen an ancient coin before ;)
Thanks echizento PooPoo is fine I was going to change it when I got home today anyways :) :)

You might want to go back to were you found it and do some more digging around, who knows there might be more there.

If you find some hens teeth whilst rummaging through the remains of hoover bags, let me know. Not the first random item you have found behind a shop / service station whilst rummaging is it, sounds like a goldmine to me. Maybe someone would like to offer up an explanation as to the reason for my first post being removed. He / she made the mistake of leaving the signature RED writing on the pictures, along with the childish name and spectacular FIND story.   |

A few coins have gone astray in my house. Perhaps they ended up in a vacuum cleaner, or maybe they are still in the heating ducts.

I was wondering what I might found in the vacuum cleaner dump, I would definitely wish for something that is more than Worth this coin. as long as history concerns there is no trace of surviving descendants of the Byzantines, these gold solidus are mainly used back in the Eastern Roman Empire times.

I had a beautiful Valens coins that went missing in my garage. What was it doing in my garage - don't ask. It's been a few years and still no trace. Someday someone will find it - I hope.
