    Hello all, I have another coin that I picked up, but don't know anything about it, other than it appears to be an old to ancient copper. I paid $5 for it so not expecting much. Any information about it would be great. Thanks in advance. ( I know the pics aren't good. )

    I agree that it's probably legit. Not much reason to fake a $5 coin. And the style is spot on.

    Yep. Looks like the real deal. A rather common late Roman bronze. The price was about right.

    I don't see any problems with it.
