141 late Roman gold solidi from Holzthum, Luxembourg — and more than a tenth were struck at Nicomedia in Anatolia. Quiet dig, big map for late-empire collectors.

@Makr3D Good call out, I have posted picture with measurements on most of my recent listing and I should go back and do that with older ones. Thanks for the feedback
Finland’s largest Viking Age silver coin hoard turned up near Sysmä — thousands of coins in two birch-bark containers (~4.5 kg), still being cleaned and counted.

Just acquired a drachm struck in Alexandria. Arrian wrote that Alexander the Great was guided to & from the oracle at Siwa by screeching serpents & Curtius had him found Alexandria just after by outlining it with corn. The elephant scalp always identified Alexander in Alexandria.
This is what our $100 bills looked like back during the Civil War.
This note is one of the first $100 bills issued by the United States. Only a small number of authentic pieces survive today, and this example lives on in an astounding PCGS Choice UNC 63 condition.
