Classic or vintage?

High end.

for a second I forgot that you're in England, I was all "Since when was the US part of the Roman Empire?"

I think the oldest thing I own is my grandmother's prayer book. It's covered in mother of pearl and came with her from Italy in 1914 or so

So it could be older then?

A riegelhaube. It's a Bavarian woman's/girl's hat, probably from the 1800s.

[The Gas Face]

are those coins really that cheap? that's amazing

I have some old coins from the early to mid 1900s. Some have swastikas on them. Nothing compared to your coin. We don't have stuff that old here and if we do it's in a museum.

they are very common

[bobtraw]

Just that there are probably s-tons of those coins around, that's all.

We have Native American artifacts that are super old.

sorry, I didnt read the OP. Back in the day, Romans would bury bags of coins for safe keeping. Many didn't come back from wars so they were lost for ages until greedy hordes of treasure hunters sweep the area with their metal detectors. They then sell each coin from $20.00 upwards to a couple of hundred and make a fortune.

I have a coin almost like it in my desk drawer.

[Schmoopy]

oh yeah $20 and they don't need fixing

I bought it at an antique mall from a booth that is just overflowing with stuff from all over the world. It was listed as an "old hat" on the price tag, so I bought it and then after looking at it, it became clear that it was a really old hat from the way it looks on the inside. I just started googling stuff like "silver wire hat" and after a pretty long search, this one page on traditional Bavarian costumes came up.
