This is a crappy picture of a coin i found about a month ago in a roll i got from a chase bank. It was a hand roll from an account holder, not a machine roll. anyways after about 3 hours of searching on line i found a picture of it. It is a 2nd century A.D. Greek Ionian coin. Not sure if the "Ionian means an area or a people or what". Any ways it is my most interesting find so far. I? dont know if it is really worth much.

That was probably me. I posted about it in one of my other threads a while back.

Just goes to show that coins can really last and be used in commerce. It has got to be worth more then the penny you paid for it.

Ancient Roman bronzes (common ones, like Constantine III and such) got for about $5-10 USD wholesale and maybe $20 retail. Awesome find!

As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?

Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

When I give my two cents, they're always copper!
