However, if a number of coins of similar date are found together in a hoard, or if a pattern of several coins of similar date and origin are found separately, it starts to become more likely that they were actually left in antiquity. In order to establish such patterns, it is of course necessary to record individual finds, even if by themselves they may not prove much.
In this spirit, this page presents a few coin finds that I happen to be aware of, and that are from Ohio or nearby states. Others are urged to build similar pages with other finds and to link onto this one for comparison. With the one exception of the Bar Kokhba coin, none of these finds is in Epstein's survey.
