Any guru's out there care to try identifying this one? Just for fun. I know it's not worth anything due to it's poor condition. I've lightened the scan up for better viewing and there are two shots of the reverse, 1 straight up and 1 flipped 180 degrees. Bronze at 27.5mm. My own guess is Augustus 27 BC - 14 AD.

You are correct it is Augustus. For a coin that's been around for about 2000 years it's not in that bad of a condition and still has some value.

Thanks echizento. Perhaps a little more cleaning can bring out some detail.

Let it soak in olive oil for a few months.
