This is pretty fake.

Another interesting episode...out of Alabama in the 1950s...there’s this kid who finds an Italian coin in a field. The coin? Minted around 450 B.C. How it got to the field? No can speculate or explain. Italian travelers from two thousand years ago? Maybe. But you can’t prove that.

There’s thousands of stories like this.

As a teenager in Miami, I had an ancient Roman bronze coin that — dope that I was — I decided I’d start carrying as a lucky charm. It wasn’t lucky for me. I lost it in a few days, probably on a field where we used to play pick-up football. If anybody finds it, it’s mine!

None of the article about the Peking Man fossils is “fake” or “pretty fake”. Your mention of that coin find (which was one of many, not just in North America) seems like a good idea for a topic though. :’)
