Need help with possibly Roman coin identification please!
« on: September 27, 2014, 09:03:13 pm »
 I have been searching endlessly for a coin that resembles mine so that I can gather information on it. (What period, value, etc).  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

Your coin is presumably a sestertius of Trajan similar to this:

As for the veracity of the coin, a weight and the opinion of those others more knowledgeable than I of these types is needed.

For future reference, it is easier to see the photo to identify the coin if they are the right way up when uploaded.

It looks more genuine than fake to me, overcleaned rather than cast. But sharper pictures would be helpful.
