..neat find Steve! capricorn reverse is super kool...welcome to cointalk

 

Nice coin and a great find with a MD. Welcome to the Forums.

 

Thanks for the id been searching for days, I am stunned someone found it so quickly

 

Nice find! And, welcome to Coin Talk Ancients, @Steve mac .

 

Thanks to all not sure how to navigate this site yet forgive me if I make mistakes

 

Do not worry about that. There are many helpful people here. A very nice find and welcome to the forum

 

CNG is a good place to search. The legend on your coin is Greek, making it a drachm, it's of Hadrian and the reverse features a capricorn. So, I searched for Hadrian drachm capricorn y voila... https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.asp..._TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1

ATB,

Also, don’t clean the coin mechanically (if you are planning to clean the coin). The deposits are Horn silver, and I expect this to dissolve quickly and nice in a sodium thiosulphate solution (I would definitely clean this coin were it mine)

 

Terrific coin! Congratulations, and Welcome! ...If you do make mistakes, people here let you recover quickly. (I know from abundant experience!)

 

Unfortunately it’s part of a hoard of 377 Denarius I found about four weeks ago,I can’t clean any until they are either declared treasure or not.

 

Interesting find, and welcome to CT! Super-interesting to see what it consist of when/if you get the permission to clean it.

 

It’s really difficult not to clean some of them I have to stop myself all the time

 

...wow!....

 

...you call that unfortunate! I think most here would really like some pictures of that hoard! Can you share?

 

Yes,I am going out today but I will put some pictures on when I get home

 

Hello Mr, I have one old greek coin which my parents got in 1996, could I send you on some email, cause i can not find him nowhere and i am from Croatia, we dont have people who know about it, i dont know how to post picture here and i still dont have permission for that, mail for confirmation still didnt came.

 

Congrats on the neat find, wish I could go metal detecting in UK area. Wont be able to find anything like that here in Tx hahaha
