I will preface this with this is not my find. A member on another forum that I frequent was searching rolls of cents when this popped up. She wasn't sure what it was and I helped her to ID it. She then kindly offered to send it to me since she knows that my son and I have started collecting ancients. Pretty cool find for a cent roll eh? Constantius II AE3. Minted: 341-346 AD. Obverse: D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed head right Reverse:VOT XX MVLT XXX, 4 lines within wreath. Mintmark SMKZ
Now THAT is not the typical CRH find! I wonder if anyone else on CT has found anything like this, or, as in your case, @furryfrog02, heard of one? Steve
Wow! Oldest CRH find *E*V*E*R !!!! Cool. I'm jealous. Kind of surprised that it was even close to the proper thickness/weight to be sorted with Lincoln cents, though.
I asked and apparently it was a CWR. Possibly intentionally placed in there? Or somehow managed to make it into a change jar and tossed in roll when it was time to roll and take to the bank?
