<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 162376, member: 6370"]well, it looks fine to me, I was a bit worried about the fields that seem a bit pitted, wasnt sure if it was just wear of signs of casting but I would think, from the picture, it seems authentic. One thing you might want to do is look around the edges of the coin to see if there are any signs of casting such as a seam or evidence of filing on the edge to remove a seam. Otherwise would say that you have yourself a wonderful ancient sestersius of Trajan, not a bad start.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://imagedb.coinarchives.com/img/cng/062/big/620866.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>This is roughly your coin but in much better shape, it sold for 2,300 USD</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Dont have a pic to post but ones that seem to compare to yours in condition seem to sell for anywhere between 100-300 USD...its worn but still shows decent detail and its well minted...I wouldnt expect much more than 100 USD give or take if you were to sell it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
