150 Roman denarii, from about 10 emperors and 4 different wives. This would have been 6 months' pay for a footsoldier in about the year 150.  Let's see how this whole selling thing goes

Got a bit medal headed tonight. Didn't spend much on them. Got 2 Jefferson Bronze Spouse medals  Two 2003 National Wildlife Bronze medals to pick one to go with my silver set of 4 proofs.  Abigail Adams and George W Bush bronze medals ( simply because they came in the lot.)  Then .... This rather large George Washington 250th Birthday Bronze medal.  I also got the Official Bicentennial sterling silver medal (3/4 oz ) and the booklet.

 1/4 Gulden from Netherlands East Indies Very lucky to get this with almost full luster (except a small blotch on the rev) for $1.5, even luckier since this was selected randomly by the online seller from his 250+ lot  The seller claimed that his huge lot of these coins was from an old hoard.
