I posted here because I thought it must be from the ancient world and I cant reasearch at that level. Only at least when it was struck we hadnt begun testing Nuclear weapons and so at the very least it wont contain Isotopes which would render it useless if melted for medical imaging systems.

SueCoin Valued Member United Kingdom 126 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 09:43 am Thx Gainn! How the heck individuals can just identify things like this given its terrible state and not exactly high quality image humbles me! Sue Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 10:56 am What's cool about Roman coins is that you can often read the emperor's name in the legends. On your coin, you can see D N CONSTAN..., for example. Portraits and common reverses are also usually recognizable if you're familiar with them. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm still far from 250 posts so it just sits and looks at me. Am going through everything and writing down on paper what I see. Sue Report this Post to the Staff
