I have what i "think"is an old Roman coin and this coin came from a charity shop here in the UK which was mixed in with a load of other coins.

The coin in question is in the link below and my coin does look the same as the one in the link.

    best bet if you are in England is take it to your county museum, their archaeologist or curator of ancient history will be able to tell you all about it.

    Looks legit. I owned a silver Roman coin once, and gave it to my niece as a gift. Roman coins are not that rare. You can buy them quite easily on the internet for a decent price.

    Yes I think it's in the wrong section but have you read up about it elsewhere?

    I think there is a collectors or hobby dept.

    You would have to take it to a coin dealer, and get it appraised.

    Do you want to sell it or do you want to keep it?
