<p>[QUOTE="Colby J., post: 3768553, member: 107416"]I was going through my bin of ancient junk looking to identify something on my free time earlier today. I saw this one and I plugged in the obverse inscription on Numismatics.org and found nothing. I then proceeded to look all over eBay, heritage, and other auction websites to see if I could find my coin. I finally found it on VC Coins. Its an Arcadius AE2 from the early 400s! It's also extremely scarce with only a few hundred surviving examples. In this condition (VF<EF) it will sell for around $150. But I'm sure it can reach over $200. The lesson: look through your junk ancient coins. [ATTACH=full]1008363[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1008364[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
