unfamiliar Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 01:26 am I'm truly amazed at how much detail is still present on this coin. Is it just me or is it very rare to see such delicate lines still apparent on these coins? As always, would love an ID and an estimate if you have one. Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 01:59 am It is Licinius I and I would say it would be on market for about $20 to $30. Regards, -Kurt Edited by Biancasdad 03/07/2012 02:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 08:14 am IMHO $20 would require a clearly legible mintmark which is obscured on this one. Cleaning might help put it might make it into a $5 coin, too. I suspect soaking in distilled water and rubbing between the fingers might help here but this carries no guarantee.

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 08:17 am It is a Licinius I from the period when he revalued the curreny to 12 1/2 denarri of account and marked the value in the reverse field XIIs. It is also interesting because of the double name LICIN LICINIVS. Report this Post to the Staff
