Hello I am new to this site. Just wondering if anybody knows what coin is this and if its worth anything. I have a feeling its worth nothing. Thank you very much http://img405.imageshack.us/i/img5503p.jpg/ http://img63.imageshack.us/i/img5504hd.jpg/
Welcome to the forums! Hopefully one of our ancient coin experts will hop in here shortly. Best of luck collecting!
Looks like a Roman antoninianus of some kind, probably c. 250 AD. I can't read the lettering on the obverse well enough to make out who the emperor is (that can be difficult even in hand some times), but it is a coin minted for the emperor as Augustus, not as Casear. It'll have some value, but antoniniani of this period are pretty common.
An antoninianus of Philip I, AEQVITAS reverse. RIC 27, very common. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s8918.html#RIC_0027b
