I understand your skepticism and that's cool. But what's harder to believe... that I may actually be right or that you can go and get any river rock crack it open and have it like this one? I circled the obvious stuff to help you. Prove me wrong and tell me what's circled isn't what I know it is. If you can do that I'll shut up and admit that I must crazy and gracefully bow out of this thread with my tail between my legs. Maby I'm just Not giving nature enough credit or just got super super lucky and picked up a magical river rock that I happend to split perfectly enough to replicate the writing/edges/full coins/completely different outer layer that I circled View attachment 1508992

It's not our job to prove you wrong, it's you're job to prove yourself right and you have failed miserably. Bowing out ASAP would be the honorable thing to do.

Based on my quick assessment of you and your claim, if I own the Pawn Shop that you take these to, I'm telling you whatever you want to hear to get you the heck out of my store.

Coins have only been around for 2,700 years. Reeded edges even more recent.

Rocks are millions of years old.

You're probably seeing the edges of shells or other fossilized critter remains.

Yeah, sorry, those are just rocks. There's no such thing as coin rocks.

Show me anywhere, Where Gold or silver, has tarnished Iron color. I have had melted silver coins from house fires. They are usually black. I have not ever seen them turn Iron oxide color. :occasion14:

Dude...If your going to mess with us you have to not go as extreme!:laughing7:

And yes!!! You are super lucky to have found the magic mushroom rock! Or magical river rocks dropped by a dragon! Huh! You didn't even think I knew about the Dragon that melted them with his breath involved...Did ya? :laughing7:

No this isn't BackwoodsBob...He knows his stuff....This is an imposter!!!

Well we got trolled hard. I ended up reading every comment. This deserves to get some form of recognition.
