Usually, there are several threads that I read and follow that are interesting to me. Recently, not many are worth a second look... Anyone else having Message Board Blues?
Post the most beautiful or interesting coin you have ever come across as a way to jumpstart another cool thread.
And Bochiman, they aren't flipping threads either so no need to reply.
Here is one of the first coins recorded from the Achaemenid Empire, ~490 BC.

Are you serious? What happened?

Hate to disagree, but that's not a coin. It was one of the early DVDs invented by Darius I on a free afternoon. The silver disc was inserted into an small device that looked like a common clay tablet (to fool thieves) and images with sound would appear. (That's the Great King on the left, urging people to buy his DVDs or he'd shoot them in the tush with an arrow.) The device was so popular that it led to the army's defeat at the hands of the Greeks: the Greeks had secretly given all Persian soldiers the latest DVD disc of Brittanii Spearapoppolus and were so distracted that they marched right into each other and off cliffs, etc. Thermopylae was a big problem for the Persians ‘cause the 300 Spartans had each other and weren’t interested in Brittanii Spearapoppolus, or sheep. The invention was forgotten when some realized they could buy a real sheep with the same silver disc, and thus its use as money was invented. Music and sound did not record well on a sheep but the soldiers found other things to do with them. It also lead to the common expression "Thank Ewe!"

I was watching the series "Hardtime" on Natgeo and someone said he/inmate frequents this forum.. I wonder whom that member is on here.
In late 1875, Sioux and Cheyenne Indians defiantly left their reservations, outraged over the continued intrusions of whites into their sacred lands in the Black Hills. They gathered in Montana with the great warrior Sitting Bull to fight for their lands. The following spring, two victories over the US Cavalry emboldened them to fight on in the summer of 1876.
To force the large Indian army back to the reservations, the Army dispatched three columns to attack in coordinated fashion, one of which contained Lt. Colonel George Custer and the Seventh Cavalry. Spotting the Sioux village about fifteen miles away along the Rosebud River on June 25, Custer also found a nearby group of about forty warriors. Ignoring orders to wait, he decided to attack before they could alert the main party. He did not realize that the number of warriors in the village numbered three times his strength

I guess they successfully drove off many of the interesting people.
<< <i>This coin was in "Battle of the Little Big Bull" >>
Great piece of history there. Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to note that the news of the 7th Cavalry's massacre reached the east coast just in time to put a real damper on the celebration of our Centenial.

Maybe it's because we recently learned that someone doesn't really know how to grade coins afterall.

Had to look up that "Greek" word .... never looked at it that way, I'm a sucker for Renaissance Art. Don't care for the Modern or Abstract Art.
