Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 05:31 am Hmmm. It appears to have been very heavily tooled. The obverse appears to be that of Hadrian? But the reverse, with clasping hands, appears to have been carved into it post-mint. Whether the carving is modern or was done in ancient times, is had to say; the verdigris pattern implies ancient vandalism. The deep notches at top and bottom imply it was intended to be tied on to something with string. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 09:14 am A lot of debasement with these, it seems. At a certain point, I guess you just have a debased coin labeled for what it is: AE. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3618613 Report this Post to the Staff
