    Looks real and of emperor Trajan. Not sure if its crud on the back or a fouree, which would make it an ancient counterfeit.

    $40 if real, $20 if an ancient counterfeit. Hard to tell from pic.

    I'm amazed how cheap Roman coins are.
    I bought 14 bronze coins from a dealer for £10...soaked them in olive oil and got to work with a wet tooth pick.ID'd them and then put them on Ebay.I made nearly £100....but a lot of work went into it.
    So people out there got a reconditioned ID'd coin over 1600 years old for about £7.

    I love ancients! The idea of owning a circulated coin that 2000 years old or more is amazing. I metal detect and there are coins that I find that are not two years old that are almost disintegrated.

    I detect too.I have the site of a Roman fort 400m away and arable fields surrounding the village full of coins.Trouble is getting permission.
