wow!! => that's a fricken awesome coin!! (you rock!!)



just jokes => but if your coin does look like this, then it's probably worth a couple o' hundred bucks!! (yummy)

... oh, but if it's not this ruler and/or it's not in this shape, then it may be worth slightly less ... like $40 (sorry) ...

good luck, my friend

Cheers

 

I only wish I had a new coin. Haha. But anyways, I merely suffered from not wanting to look at any coins for awhile this time. Because I did not want to be temped to purchase any.

However, I do have a camera that a friend loaned me so I'm snapping new photos of my coins. It's going to take awhile since I have 148 attributed coins now. And I've been collecting ancients now for 3 years since November.

 

Yes, you do rock, Steve!! lol.

 

Here are some better pictures of my coin hope this helps to figure out what it is and what its worth thank again

 

those are way better ...

oh, and I like the table that your coin is resting upon (ummm, it looks quite a bit like your table, chrsmat?!!) ... interesting

Joycev => I'm sure somebody slick will respond ASAP and give you the answers that you're looking for (good job on the new photos)

 

It's Valerian I. Year 7 puts it at the end of his reign, around 259 AD. Value-wise, maybe in the $40 range. Maybe it's just the pic, but it seems someone over-cleaned it.

 

its the light on it its not that color
its like a dark brown color

 

@Joycev, John Anthony is correct. It is Valerian I, issued regnal year 7 (259-260 AD), struck in Alexandria, Egypt.

Here is the same coin in more or less comparable condition to yours (hard to tell with your photos though). It is offered for sale through a "retail" seller for $47.
