Coins of the Constantinian era are rather common today. I probably own a hundred or more of them. Still, in the condition shown, they are probably worth $20-$50 each.

Have any in decent condition you’d be willing to sell?

You might be confusing him with Bidum the Halfaxxed? His coin is a flattened gumball.

And you couldn't find Swiss chocolate, Swiss watches, or Swiss army knives anywhere in Switzerland. You can't find Swiss cheese in Switzerland to this very day.

I simply read “C.E.” as Christian Era and
“B.C.E.” as Before Christian Era.

I worked in a pawnshop for a brief period. A very large fellow with an obvious mental defect wandered in and offered me a “1000 Caret opal” that he had at home. When I didn’t show much interest he offered to bring in his uncirculated, 2000 year-old Roman Coin. It was a fun job.

You can't find Swiss cheese in Switzerland to this very day. No Swiss cheese? Sounds like someone is orchestrating an elaborate disinformation campaign. Better get Jankowicz on it...
