[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2454041, member: 56859"]Hi Dustin, Your coin is a very corroded bronze imperial issue of the late Roman empire. Maybe someone can narrow it down for you but it will be tough given the condition. As for value, probably only a few dollars, I'm sorry to say. It's still cool though to have a coin that is ~1700 years old :) Here are your images after cropping, rotating, and joining. It makes it easier for others to help you. You (or someone) can probably narrow it down a bit. [ATTACH=full]513131[/ATTACH] My best guess is: Licinius II 317-324 AD Obverse: radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right Reverse: VIRTVS EXERCIT; two captives seated under a standard (standard probably reads VOT/XX)[/QUOTE]
