Sniff, sniff, sniff - he got RUN out.

Imagine a CITY COUNTRY that was started with running from Atilla the HUN in 441 A.D. into the BELOW MARSHES finally falling in 1797; 1356 YEARS!

Oh, I picked that coin up too. Solidus 441-450 MS62 made to pay off Atilla the HUN by the Byzantine Emperor....

I like this one - but I desire the higher grades - like a MS62. PS by the way - try to BUY anything from the USA in MS before 1799...

think $100,000 plus in gold...

Re: Okay, FESS up who CLIPPED this coin?
 

Clippings? No way, it's an ultra rare numismatic, but I'll sell it for you super cheap at 10x spot price.

How many of such coins are fakes? It`s not that hard to fake ancient coins.Buy metal.
