    Very nice find, but believe it or not this is the second one I have seen in a little over a year. A club member found one in England last year. I did the next best thing to findin gone, I held it! Once again Awesome find.

    Great coin

    The Vespasian I posted last year (see below) was my earliest roman coin.

    Is it your earliest Roman Coin?

    in holland you can find very old coins (roman/ keltic/medieval/16/17/18/19 century)

    thats because all those people have been here in the past

    bud to find these coins is not so easy hahaha.

    in great brittain/ france / italy/ etc etc ,it is easyer to find these coins (more romans have been there)
    bud almost in the hole of europe you can find old coins

    Silver does not tarnish in the ground, as long as it is not exposed to oxygen there.
    As long as it remains burried, it will remain clean, hense those silver coins that are dug here in the US
    every day that look like they were dropped yesterday.... even though they were lost 1-2-3 hundred years ago.
