Amarkpol New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 02:24 am Hello, I just noticed this coin while cleaning out my wallet. I am hoping someone can give me information about this coin such as the value of it. All I know based on searching online is that this is a Roman coin. Thank you. * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 02:44 am AR Denarius of Septimius Severus. Laodicea ad Mare, 198-202 AD, see (for instance) RIC 510a / RSC 345. The reverse is off-center, and the engraving is somewhat crude but decently struck. I thought it might have been a fourree at first but the edge doesn't really support that.

Amarkpol New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 10:18 am Thank you for the information. Would you be able to tell me the value of such coin. I do believe that it was a store change given back for a purchase I made. I just noticed it while cleaning my wallet of loose change. Also, is it something I should take to a coin dealer and have it appraised? Thank again. Report this Post to the Staff
jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 11:53 am You got it back in store change? In the USA? A 1,800 year old silver coin? I'm happy when I find a pre-1965 dime. Assuming the coin is real it's worth $25-30. I have some issues with the authenticity though, so better photos would be needed to confirm it is not counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
