I don;t even know if it is authentic. I am a new collector learning everything. Image: coin.jpg 4.63 KB Can any of you tell me what this is? Or should I take it to a local collector? I hope it's worth something and is precious enough to keep. Edited by BigMACK 02/18/2009 08:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

I'd need to see the other side to confirm it's identity, and better pics might help in checking it's identity, but I believe it's this one, an antoninianus of British rebel emperor Postumus. Reverse type SERAPI COMITI AVG (Serapis, Companion of the Emperor) depicting the god Serapis standing. That one sold for $135.

But the reverside looks exactly like the one you posted. Ok, I guess I will hang on to this one for a while until I learn more about coins. Report this Post to the Staff
