Coin?

Here is an unknown for you.
What is it?

7 inches in hard packed ground

I have no clue what it is but it doesn't look real to me, looks like a copy of something... I have found copies of coins on the beach and they were deep. I've seen that whatever you have before I can't place it sorry.

Looks Roman to me, I shall have to try a look it up.

This was ID'd on a UK website

"It's an AE3 of Gratian. The reverse depicts the emperor dragging a captive"

Alan, Thanks for the identification.
I think my diggin buddy played me good on this one.
:lol:

He gave it to me yesterday and ask me to help him ID it. Something tells me he was busy on Ebay last week :duh:

Chad, thanks for jacking me up! You know how I get about these things. :lol:

Remember YOU started it!

Thanks Epi

Thanks Epi,i can see it now, that is a roman coin but it looks like something bought from ebay unless you spent hours or weeks cleaning it because no roman coin will come out of the ground looking that good.
