And OUCH! why did you find a bit of a Comux inscribed one, they are one of the most valuable :o. If your only going to find a piece then you want to find a common one ;D Title: Re: Fragment of gold stater Post by: briggs1969 ( Dawson ) on December 19, 2011, 05:27:10 PM great find Andy boy well done mate ;)

(http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv294/Chef_02/1197631672B1.jpg) A word of warning, as it is holed and a fragment I wouldn't think there is much doubt as to it's authenticity, but I would definitely get it checked as out of the 11 contained in the Celtic coin index of Oxford University, 5 have now been found to be modern forgeries (19th-20thC). |
