NICEFORO & STAURACIO Gold Coin. 802-811 AD

Wow Vince! That one is killer! :icon_thumright:

Now voted banner. A gold coin from what would be our Saxon period is on my top 5 wish list. They are crazy rare to find.

Awesome! Was this found in an area of Macedonia that was part of Greece in the ancient days?

Great finds, all! Congratulations on your second gold coin! Thank you for allowing us to share in you beautiful find!

Very nice finds, the gold coin is amazing! :occasion14:
Sure wish we had that kind of history here in Canada.

That's a very long discussion but just a quick tip: Greece is not ancient.

Thanks Cru for your vote. That's my second gold coin and both were on the surface. Maybe I'm just lucky!

Outstanding, congrats! :icon_thumleft:

Wow, congrats! BANNER finds....

It doesn't get any better than that! Wow.

Laughter is the universal language when an exceptional find is made. Congratulations as the detail and age are very impressive.

Well done! :notworthy:

Hi Don! Would you please send me a pic? There are a few details that make me think that my coin is not from Syracuse but a local mint.
