Steve,
If I remember correctly I described the Coin a few months ago in a 
post. What was the remarkable thing was that on the face of the Coin
there was a Temple having the Greek Trapezium, on the Trapezium
I saw a five-point star vertical oriented, under the star -- three Rays,
beneath the Trapezium within the entrance of the Pronaos there were
three very worn figures, the Center one being taller than the two on
either side. Above them on the Lintel of the Pronaos was the "E" of
Delphi. All this was to be seen by the naked eye. There were Four Pillars 
supporting the Trapezium and there were an upper Horizontal band and
a lower Horizontal Band that crossed the face of the coin. Upon these
Bands there what seemed to be Seven circular facements as if they were 
not yet finished as none of the seven above and none of the four below
had any feature but were plain. Now when I scanned the coin
systematically and thoroughly when I came to the fifth feature on the
bottom Horizontal band instead there I say a Cavity no bigger than the
tip of a ball point pen (we measured that) and in each of the fifth, sixth,
and seventh cavity on the bottom horizontal Band I saw using the Stereo
zoom microscope the Characters of the "AUM," (one character in each of
the three cavities) these were dusted in the finest Gold or Bronze I don't
know which and additionally they all three were upon a raised pedestal
within the cavity itself in male positive impression. The characters were 
not of a style normal to a printer but like some kind of leaf that were
placed to make the individual characters of the AUM. To this day I have
never found the likeness of that though I have searched high hand low for
25 years. The person that materialized is alive today and I talked to on 
the phone Christmas Day and he sent a E-mail to me yesterday.

Understand that he was in "Projection" state when the Coin was 
manifested, and, when I asked what the meaning of the Coin was I was 
told only "This is revenant of the past."

There were unique features other than what I mention so far. One, the
Trapezium was Unique to the Greeks. Two the Five Pointed Star and the
Three Rays were of another Culture then the Greeks. The "AUM" was the 
special Treasure of Bharata. On the reverse side of the Coin in the center
was a sheaf of Wheat or Hay on a beautifully cross-thatched surface.
And at the Ten O'clock position of the back side was the Glyph for the 
Phoenician "Alpha" as far as I can determine. Now no Nation that I have
seen in searching the coins of all Nations includes several other Cultures 
or Religious holdings on their Coins.

I appreciate your comment about "socks," the fact was that I had at the
time this occurred no idea what was to happen as I was sitting outside
at an early evening affair among about 100 people arranged in a "U"
and as the proceedings moved on seen myself very paranormal
happenings (the Person on the Dais delivering to the audience was
entirely enveloped in a creamy blueish-white covering and another
countenance had replaced his normal appearance), across the "U"
from me three women among the many people there were covered
and enveloped in the same manner. Above us circling in the air 
Ovoid shapes of "emptyness" slowing rotating about the perimeter
of this assembly. The three lady's I did not know at that time, but later
the most senior of them came to be known to me, she was a psychic
and a few years later I took her cat Smoky to save him from euthanasia.
I had not wanted to stay for the next speaker because I thought he was 
a religious fundamentalist, but as it happened I ended up "Glued" to
my chair. So, resenting this I made up my mind to "Bore clear into the
back of his head and see who he really was!" Well, when he got directly 
front of me I did just that, and raising my head I looked up and saw 
another in his place, another that in no wise had any reason to be there 
as seen in the form and attire such as he wore. He was wise, long white
hair down to his shoulders, he seemed Caucasian, prominent cheeks,
his eyes were like eternity with infinity within them, he had a mustache
and beard that were white also, and wore a pendant hanging from his
neck. He wore a robe of some kind, dark. Peace and kindness were of
his energy to me. He was lees than two feet from me as I looked up.
The next morning I and my Friends all had breakfast together sitting
at a long large table, and wouldn't you just know it! The man who was 
supposed to be there that wasn't there the night before gave the prayer
for the meal. I had spent a very restless night trying to come to grips
with my perception of the evening before and I could not confront the
man directly, but peeked gingerly and ducked back still telling myself
"there is no way the two of them could be same person!" I had never in
all my life been so unsettled by anything as this had made me. But it
happened. This manifested Personal appearance physically touched
me and spoke to me when in front of me as I sat in the front row of the 
"U" 
assembly of people.

I agree with you "Direct First Person Experience" is the best and
to the Gnostics apprehension in this way is the only manner that "Faith"
has actuality, and as such, become Knowledge that cannot be removed
and establishes the strata that qualifies the Basis of "Faith."

This all took place before I developed an interest in Theosophy and
to acquire the works of Madame Blavatsky. But served to create the
desire to search for answers to my experiences.

OH BTW the person that manifested the Coin characterized doing these
things without reserve for people as "Cheap Thrills" and "Circus Tricks."
