Newbismatic Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 11:09 pm I just want to point out that it clearly says copy. To me it looks like a replica ancient coin. I have no idea where or when though. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 04:04 am Yes, it's a very commonly encountered replica of an ancient Greek coin from Gela; we've seen quite a lot of them here on the forum. See here, here and here for just a few examples. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
