Nate4s New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 04:15 am Just a brief history of this metal disc I have: My uncle used to work in an international airport. Once he retired, he gave me all of the coins he collected. I can not stand it anymore and would be so relieved if someone could tell me what it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a button, replicated coin, or something even further from a coin. Here are some pictures which might help. Thank you so much to anyone who can give me any tips.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 11:07 am , This appears to be a copy of a coin from Judea from the period of the Bar Kochba war 132-135 AD. If you can post a larger picture we would be able to tell if it's a copy or real. Report this Post to the Staff
Nate4s New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 3:49 pm I'm certainly assuming its not real. It looks way too new to be anything ancient. These forums only let me post 100kb pictures or so. I posted full sized pictures on flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nate4s/3352843042/ Thanks for all of the help so far! Report this Post to the Staff
