Nice finds Cru.

What is the definition of a scrappie, a coin that can't be id?

Congratulations, Crusader! More nice finds for you all. Thanks for sharing.

I've always understood it to be a term for the poor quality Roman coins that are so "common" that they don't elicit much of a celebratory response from the finder. Many of those would be unidentifiable, but not all.

Hopefully Crusader will correct me if I'm wrong.
