    I found this in a roll it looks like on the right side of the front that another coin might have hit the side a little bit what it looks like to me I figured I let you guys see it see if you can make any sense out of it.

    To state the obvious -- wrong forum. Unless it's a joke that's going over my head.

    The portrait looks a lot like Commodus to me. Maybe a provincial? The letter style looks good but the inscription does not look like Latin except for "e pluribus unum", not sure what that's referring to?

    Maybe if you provide the size in millimeters and the weight in grams we can help you attribute it. I'm not seeing any matches on wild winds.

    It's an ancient Lincoln penny from the time of Antoninus Pius (138-161)

    Do I see bronze disease on the right side of the obverse?

    And yes maybe it is Antoninus Pius.

    Be gentile. (oops!) There are those who consider anything before they were born 'ancient' and people like us 'dinosaurs'.

    It's well on it's way to becoming an ancient, what with those dents and scratches...

    I don't think it's Antoninus Pius, I think it's Aelius and I found an obverse die match, but the OP coin seems heavily tooled and smoothed and with fake patina.

    Could also be a mule with the reverse for this one, tough to tell

    Roman? The small inscription just above the temple on the reverse is Latin. ;)

    Guys, I'm pretty sure it's Galba. These 2 coins look to be the same size (at least the photos do), and the writing nearly matches up (apart from the writing on OP's coin is in a different place, and in a different font. And different text).

    The strange abbreviation of "LIBERTY" is probably just a spelling error from the die engraver, who probably meant to write "LIBERALITAS". I'd suggest reporting a new type to RIC, as this looks like a new variety.

    The text "1967" could indicate 1967BC, because I'm pretty sure that's when Galba reigned.

    This is RIC 1967 Hadrian and the style is similar - barbarous?

    I'm not sure on some of the things you All are saying but I'm just talking about the right side of the coin looks like the imprint of another coin might of hit around the ring of the coin that is what it looks like to me I'm not talking about nothing about the back not less you see something I don't see and that could be possible.
