Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 498 Posts	Posted 11/25/2009 1:55 pm Unfortunately this won't be a gold coin, gold would come out of the ground still looking like gold as it is not a very reactive metal. There is probably about enought detail left on the coin to identify it, and no doubt someone who is better with Roman coins with give you a much better idea. Given it's size, prehaps a brass sestertius or Dupondous. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
