mfhorn Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 3:38 pm Hello All; I know absolutely nothing about ancient coins. I'm posting this for a friend who is in the jewelery business, and bought this mainly because of the right price, and it is silver. Does anyone know what period this comes from, (Greek, Roman) and ball park figure of numismatic value? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 3:53 pm It's a AR Denerius of Marcus Aurelius 161-180 AD. The obverse legend looks like: AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG P II F. Not sure of the reverse legend. Report this Post to the Staff
