First Check for $500,000 Takes This Unique Ancient Coin!
"Ancient Astronaut Coin, 3000 to 6000 years old"
"I have a coin that is what I believe to be from 3 to 6 thousand years old it seems to be a coin made from a cave drawing I have had it for a while in my private collection and am willing to put it to the test to prove it authentisity for disbelievers it is real and probably the only one in existence" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140000254417 Yes, here is a coin that will rewrite numismatic history, not to say ancient history in general, provided that its "authentisity" can be proven. Who knew that coinage was invented in 4,000 BC, when men still lived in caves (as this seller apparently believes)? Or maybe only 1,000 BC?? This will surely embarrass those of us that thought that the first Western coins were made in the 7th century B.C. Actually, it is difficult to be sure exactly what this item is, as all three images are of the same side. A Mexican hacienda token? Native states India? A European charity token? The poor condition doesn't help, and the orientation is anybody's guess. If anyone knows for sure, please enlighten us. Bob Leonard |

He'd probably bite your hand off if you presented $3, let alone £325,000.
Let's face it, copper coinage from planet Zog isn't exactly a high demand item here on planet Earth. Besides (and I have this on good authority) the Zoggy coin catalogues cost a bl**dy fortune in postage. No doubt someone out there who collects these pieces AND who has the `book' can tell us more about it. John Carney wrote: "Bob" wrote in message oups.com...

This appears to be an authentic coin, approximately 950BC. I suspect
it was from the squeezetits tribe of Greeks. Some have attributed it to the buttafuca tribe, but I am skeptical. |

I've handled a few zorkmids in my time and they do lool surprising like this one but this one has been worked on and possibly drilled to try to get the liquid center out. Cliff |

Since there are two and a third zorkmids to a hern and a fifth, and there being no way to determine the actual size of this piece, it could be any one of a number of issues from the reign of Zod VII. In addition, rumor has it that these coins circulated very briefly on the Planet Houston. I recommend both qualitative and quantitative analysis to be absolutely sure. Mr. Jaggers |

You get the catalog, get all excited, send in an order, and ten years later you get a reply "Sorry, we sold all of those coins, but here is out latest catalog". Happens every time. It's incredibly annoying. B.J. -- B.J. Herbison / / http://www.herbison.com/herbison/bj.html The Next Asylum / 203 Long Hill Road / Bolton, MA 01740-1421 / +1 978 634-1061 |
