NUMISMATIC NUGGETS: MAY 14, 2017

Here's a selection of interesting or unusual items I came across in the marketplace this week. Tell us what you think of some of these. -Editor

Clay Moulds for a Wu Zhu Coin

Lot consisting of two clay moulds for a Wu Zhu AE coin. The clay moulds were meant for casting a Wu Zhu coin, H.10.16, a coin from the Eastern Han dynasty, 25-250 A.D. The moulds are guaranteed to be authentic.

Interesting item. Molds for casting coins do exist but are seldom seen. -Editor
