<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 746291, member: 19463&quot;]I think I see the C from SC on the reverse showing the coin is a Roman Imperial so the denominantion is an &#039;as&#039;.&nbsp; The reverse photo is blurry enough to make it uncertain which way is up.&nbsp; You might do better scanning it on a flat bed scanner but that requires a little care to get right also.&nbsp; I see hints of detail and legend that might make it more fully identifiable but from what there is the coin is a common bronze of Hadrian, Roman Emperor 117-138 AD,&nbsp; from the Rome mint.&nbsp; Value is entirely driven by condition and this one has surface and edge problems that detract from what could be a decent looking portrait coin.&nbsp; I suspect you&#039;d find similar in some dealer&#039;s $20 pick out boxes but I doubt many dealers would be interested in buying it as a single coin unless the metal is more sound than the photos.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&#039;Eye Appeal&#039; is important on coins in this bracket.&nbsp; Pretty sells; ugly stays in the box until all the better looking stuff is gone.&nbsp; When it was new, the coin might have bought lunch for one.&nbsp; It is worth at least that much now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
