This coin is for sale in a local resale shop. They don't know what it is, and neither do I, lol. They have it as a "silvered Roman coin from 300 A.D." I took a picture of it, and it's not the best, but my fellow CT members are the best. I think someone can identify it. It's priced at $45. I would like to know what it is and if that's a fair value, please? Thanks very much.

As always, you're on top of everything! I'm amazed at your knowledge of Roman coins. I am truly grateful. But, I have one minor thing that I disagree with you on (I know you were bring nice), but I don't think "it's a little pricey". I think it's a lot pricey! The coin you sold is so far better than the one I posted, they don't even fall in the same ballpark! Again, thank you so much. It's not something that I'm into collecting. I actually was going to offer to buy it for anyone that was interested in it, and send it to them, if it was a good deal. Since it's not, I'm not going to make that offer. Thank you, Kenneth
