[QUOTE="Eyestrain, post: 1063623, member: 24213"]Congratulations on discovering a wormhole in your couch that bends space and time. I have one in my laundry hamper, but so far it only deposits neolithic tools, which are really hard to authenticate without a properly documented provenance. The obverse reads AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F (Aurelius Caesar Augustus Pii Filius). The reverse is COS II (Consul for the second time) and shows Honos holding a branch and cornucopia. Your coin, in this condition, would likely retail in the $50 - $100 range. Marcus Aurelius is a popular emperor among collectors, being the last of a string of "good" emperors before his egomaniac paranoid lunatic son Commodus took over and officially launched the slow decline of the empire. It would be a nice find at a coin show for a reasonable price. Free from a couch is even better.[/QUOTE]
