still_learnin_24 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 9:05 pm I found this the other day in a Coinstar reject tray. I tried to use Google Lense, and found some similar coins, but not this specific one. It's too worn to see any identifying words or numbers, so I'm hoping someone here can help since I'm not really a coin collector and don't have the experience to track it down myself.

I agree that it is likely Roman, so I've move this thread over there to get the right eyeballs on it.

As the monetary value of the coin is @25 cents It's best to exaggerate ! Some have even speculated that MAG MAX is connected to the origin legends of King Arthur Why not ? So you have a genuine coin of King Arthur Sounds better than a coin of 'I dunno' worth about a quarter ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Maximus Report this Post to the Staff
