Not A bad buy huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Most likely pre-200. Do you have the size, weight, and better pictures? t looks like it should be attributable with good close-ups, and a bit of luck. Gradewise, I'd say G-VG, though there's some serious problems/flaws. "Choice" is a generic term which has no real meaning, except in describing a certain grade of UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coin Looks to be Very poorly Minted One Crack And Holes All over The Coin The Letters ISC Are The Only Letters That Can be Seen All Other Details Are Messed Up Seriously bad By the Flaws It's hard to get better Pics 7 Grams Is The Weight Slightly Bigger Then A US Quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 The pitting would had been from all the time it's spent in less than ideal soil conditions before being dug and cleaned up. Though there appears to be some flan cracks, it also appears that there's a number of scratches, so it wasn't that bad of a coin to start with. The key to the identifciation would be the obverse legend. From the size and weight, I'm guessing this is an as, since the obverse appears to have a laureate bust.

Is An As Good or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28Plain Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Cleaned up nicely as yours is, they can go for as little as $4-6 to as much as you paid. I see Roman coins fairly often but don't buy many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Roman copper coins are often for sale for 1 to 5 $ here. Silver denars from 8 to 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
