    Well... this morning this coin was encased in some loose dirt... With the proper modivation I have gotten it pretty well cleaned.

    I have been having a heck of a time ID'ing it.

    It's 26mm and 9.9g

    I think it is an earlier Roman Emperor...

    Maybe Trajan?

    Trajan. Obverse legend will be one of these two. It fades out, so I can't tell which...
