I like that dutch VOC doit, minted in Middelburg (mm = castle) , capital of the dutch province of Zeeland,
the lion in the waves stands for: LUCTOR ET EMERGO = I struggle and keep afloat.

Who dug 'em up?

I have about 350 dug coins in my collection, if you include my ancients (and practically ALL ancient coins in the marketplace were dug at one point.) 309 others are coins I dug myself, dating from 395 AD to the year 2000. (I don't count modern "pocket change" coins or Wheat pennies).

Reminds me- I just put up another dig movie.

Not much on finds in that one (though I did show a picture of my most valuable past find).

That one's more of a short history tour. The next two movies (which I'm working on now) should be at least a tiny bit more interesting in the finds department.

I gather the people who sold it to the coin shop dug these up but still some interesting coins

That is quite an assortment of nations to be found in the same hole. Unless they were not dug at the same time?

I like the look of the Xianfeng zhongbao. Nice color.

Awesome finds, the most impressive of all is the 70 A.D Roman coin. I surfed the internet to find a better picture of the coin. I guess it’s this is how the 70 A.D Roman coin looks in a good coin condition. By the way, do you have more coins in your collection? Post a picture here, would love to see them.

Maybe it's just me but the Roman coin sure looks like Hadrian.
