    Not very valuable in great condition. In this condition, perhaps $2

    Hi coin776 => yah sadly, that baby is kinda like the poster-child for low-budget Roman coins (I myself, love that coin-type => a sweet ol' suckling she-wolf and those two weird lil' creepy twins), but again, they're literally a dime a dozen (well, maybe five dozen dimes for one example in your condition)

    I have an example as well ...

    => congrats though => that coin looks legit and it's 1700 years old (it's very fricken cool)

    :rolleyes:

    Exactly what Steve said (he's our wiseman... :D ) : although it's common and not in great condition, it's 1700 years old and one enters in the mysterious world of ancient coins with them.

    My Siscia mint example :

    [​IMG]
    Urbs Roma, AE 3 struck in Siscia, 3rd officina, ca. AD 330-333
    VRBS ROMA, Helmeted Roma left
    Anepigraph, She wolf suckling twins Remus and Romulus, two stars in field, gamma SIS at exergue
    2.34 gr
    Ref : RC #3894, Cohen #17, RIC # 222

    @no name2015 your a couple months late on this. Didn't you notice ALL the responses with people who showed their examples?

    This is caused when someone posts a reply having seen the first post asking a question but does not follow down to read the answers that followed. This is particularly bad when new members go back and read things posted years ago and bring back pages dormant for years. In the least, it is good form to read the entire thread before posting a new reply. That way the only out of time replies would be those posted while we were typing (and that happens often enough).

    For the type, besides mint marks there are some of thsee with marks between the two stars on the reverse. Guido Bruck goes over these in his book. The most interesting and desired mark being the Ch-Rho, but there are dots, leaves, and other marks placed there occasionally.
