<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3632756, member: 59737"]I found this during my time coin roll hunting here. My coins come in bags instead of boxes, so finding odd-sized coins was not too unusual. This one, however, stood out as it is smaller than a dime. I figured the ancient collectors would appreciate a newbie’s efforts as I have seen ancient coins like this before, but couldn’t remember any of the rulers. What did I do? I typed “spiked head ancient coin” into google, which then led me to learning this is called a radiant crown. I then googled that and the closest bronze coin I could find was a Diocletian. I know this is pretty poor photography and the coin is almost worn away, but any chance this can be confirmed to be a legitimate coin and/or attributed?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]974585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]974586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]974587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]974588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]974589[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
