Israeli treasure

I don't know how to add links but on the coin world website there is article about gold coins found in a bay that belongs to Israel. There were just shy of 2,000 coins!

Thank you for this info. I see the story in the Israel Times paper states the coins are over 1000-years old. http://www.timesofisrael.com/ancient-trove-of-gold-coins-found-off-coast/

My camera I no bargain. Just as well. For some reason I never got into world coin's. I had a hard time keeping g up with american book's. To collect books from four different countries would be hard enough. I give you credit. Your knowledge of world coin's out ways mine by only one hundred percent. Good for you.

in order to add a link, all you do is go to the top of your browser (the address field), select all, and then copy it (control or command C) and then go to your post and just paste it. I hope that makes sense.
