<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 243284, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; My oldest coin is a Roman sestertius Gordian lll 238-244 AD. I have an Elizabeth l six pence 1569. I found the Elizabeth l coin in the 1970s when Interstate 95 was being built through Philadelphia. people were finding all kinds of things from cannons to bottles to coins. One guy found a large stash of silver. It was written up since there were old newspapers offering a reward since it was stolen in 1771. They figure a sailor stole the silver, tied up in a bag and hung it off the wharf to be picked up later. He never did since it sank to the bottom and was buried to be found in 1974. My favorite coin I found was a 5 dollar gold piece in a mans ring. I bought at a flea market for 10 bucks. The seller thought it was fake. Sold the coin a few years later for 300 bucks and scrapped the rest of the ring for 125. Should have kept both, gold was going for 200 an ounce, who knew it was going to go up to a grand?</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
