    Fellow stackers , here r two of my favorites coins.
    First is my first personal finding of roman coin with MD and 2nd is from same place, it was hoard, but i didnt detected it because lack of experience
    and circumstances, and i was standing on it :(
    First one is silver denarius Antonius Pius and second Celts silver tetradrachma, Philip II.

    Very cool, I like the clip marks where traders would clip a little each time for their take etc...

    Just a question.
    Are these called cobs or coins?

    I was on holiday and from last year i am owner of metal detector, so i place visit to roman site,and then it pop up, was also some bronze coin finds but i didnt make picture of them. I am passionate fisherman and hunter for more than 20 years, but this hobby beat it all . They r coins, second one is Celts copy of greek tetradrachma. After successful raid of Delphi in Greece , they turn back and settle down in Serbia and start issuing they owns local currencies , but coin value was same like value of silver in it.
    In this hoard was 400pcs and value of it is 300eur+. Finding of this kind hoard is not often, but it is still happen every year, so u can compare it to finding of big gold nugget in Australia.

    I bought them all, no findings. Usually on polish auction site site called Allegro, but you can find a lot of them (silver Dinarius) on UK/Ireland eBay as well as on VCoins for example

    I'd love to get into collecting this type of stuff but China has made it very difficult to do so :(

    If they're legit then very nice, wish they were mine.

    Fully understand. What I do is I pay one of well recognized professor/historian (University of Wroclaw) to check it for me before I buy anything. There is a list (on eBay) of ancient roman coin dealers; they can guarantee you buy real coin not fake.

    Great coins! Most of my colllection contains bullion, but a couple of weeks ago I bought my first ancient greek coins, since then I really enjoy watching all these different ancient coins... Think they're fascinating!

    These are from the Thessalian League with the head of Zeus. My two coins :)

    There is so many of them so at the moment I am trying to focus on ancient Rome denarius (republic and imperators) only
