One day the security guard of the museum came knocking on my office door. He stated that there was a man of questionable intentions asking for me. I agreed to meet the man in the lobby. As I approached him I could see what the security guard meant. Here was a man of questionable character. But I had a been the museum business for a couple of decades and I had meet worse. And taken items from worse. This particular man presented a coin of very authntic appearence with the face of a famous ruler and the date 476 b.c.e on the face with a beautiful dipiction of a sunset on the mountains. A worn and faded specimen but still a wonderful find. I immediately called the security guard back and the man was placed into handcuffs. Why?

b.c.e. = Before Common Era. Which was not used until very recently. Even back in the 90's the term was b.c. or before christ. The coin is an obvious fake, as in those days they didn't not use dating such as that.

Because the coin would not have been dated 476 b.c.e. if it were authentic. Nobody knew Christ was coming, so they didn't keep time like that back then.

If you dont know how would I know? Maybe if you think harder something might pop out, oh by the way dont think too long you might hurt yourself and fall in a coma. Good luck.
