numismatically, THAT is a beautiful coin for 2000 years old! It would be worth thousands if not tens of thousands!

I’ve seen pictures of that; kinda takes the fun out of finding it, though.

I’ve found two ~1200 year old Chinese coins recently in Tokyo, and they only go for about a buck on the worldwide open market. They are steel, and not that pretty, and were made in the 10’s of millions, but damn, if they aren’t exciting to dig up and throw in the “treasure box” for the family.

No, no, no, maybe, maybe, yes? Yes!
She was using the landscape
To hide herself.

A sense at the end
Of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes.

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes

Yes

2000 year old gold coins are usually common?
