Pennsylvania Coin?

sb5100 · May 27, 2006 1:47AM

I have what just might be referred to as the Pennsylvania coin as depicted here: »www2.privatei.com/~bartjean/chap11.htm , about two thirds down the page. I have made a few inquiries around here where I live in Florida with no success at all. I have attached pictures of the one I have, though they are not very good.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a modern copy of ancient coins from Sicily.

Yeah, that author is a whack-job. Most coins pictured on the page look to be modern copies (usually sold for collectors or as souvenirs), especially the ones with loops. I'm sure some Greek guy may have actually ventured into the backwoods of Arkansas at one point, but not 500 or 2000 years ago!

Heh, I didn't even notice that link, I just went straight to the images. Yeah, all the coins in that article appear to be modern cast copies from the crummy images provided.

Josh, are those labels in your sig line from crackouts?

Nope, they're new additions to the website.
