Here's another coin from the you-clean-it lot. This is the second coin with any detail. The rest are pretty much crud. Any ID help would be greatly appreciated. Fred
99% chance it's a silvered denarius of Antonius Pius 138-161AD.The only legible part of the inscription is the AVG (augustus) but the face and beard is a dead giveaway.
Thanks greatly for the info. Is there a web site or something that I could look for info and examples of the coin? Thanks again Fred

The "beard" I think is corossion. Look at the back of the neck - I'm 99% certain myself that's it's a posthumous Constantine I, likely chariot or statue type.
