FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 9:35 pm Based on the color and the glossy surfaces I believe that with proper conservation you might have a real gem. The black surface oxidation looks like it might be coerced into coming off. If so the coin would have fantastic eye appeal. Emerald green is a lovely color for ancient bronze.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 3:02 pm Nice coin ro. As you say, a type that is often seen, but it is a very interesting coin as it commemorates Trajans victories after interminably long campaigns to subjugate Dacia and their king Decebalus.
