Dear God, what is it????

I don't know but I would be afraid to touch that middle one!

lol I know... It was from an "uncleaned ancients" project I played around with a while ago. That "coin' is about 1650 years old. Believe it or not, it is somewhat identifiable as the reverse is a very common late Roman Empire design called, Gloria Exercitvs, or the "Glory of the Army". Not enough of the obverse to identify, but probably a Constantine family member.

More info here RomanCoin.info

And here is a link to a similar coin in identifiable condition to give you an idea of what they can look like Wildwinds.com

The first 3 posts aren't nasty enough, buy syzygy.... ick.

The one I showed you all in chat.


Poor, poor 1875.

While these don't quite compare to those of syzygy, I think they belong in the ugly catagory.

Oh My! That is some serious competition.....

Hmmmmmm...I suspect that your ancient could spawn a new contest for "most fonkiest tore up coin".

Was that a detector find? Looks like a 194? quarter?

What is the turquoise stuff? Icky
