Not a bad coin, far more 'silver' looking than most, decent detail too, even the best of these are not great if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the all the comments and help - the truth is it came as part of a job lot I bought mainly for the UK coins (you know tin of old coins etc) and I have no experience with Ancients (and to be honest the range of Ancients looks quite intimidating).
Out of interest what value do you think it has.

I have a similar coin I purchased in June of last year. With shipping I paid $16.50. I would add that I feel I got a pretty good deal. Mine is RIC 67:  |

Thanks Bing.
I think yours is more appealing (not knowing the scarcity of each), not a lot for something over 1700 years old then.

I just made it simple by collecting Roman Imperial coins, as many emperors as I can find. A year later and I'm also collecting other region coins. You collect and learn a little bit at a time, just like bobbyhelmet says.
