The few coins that were damaged still had legible inscriptions, it said. Interesting, because I would have thought that AE coins immersed in salt water for more than a millennium would have been much more corroded.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2216 Posts	Posted 11/05/2023 2:40 pm I am also surprised at the good state of their preservation. I'd think they would have significant corrosion. At first I wondered if they could be modern fakes placed in the water to be "discovered." I found an article about a Roman shipwreck in the harbor of Caesarea. It too had Constantine era AE coins that look nice.... https://www.numismaticnews.net/worl...-coin-bounty Edited by livingwater 11/05/2023 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I assumed correctly. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
