It's Ancient, but that's as much as I can tell you.... but you will get an answer soon. Neat find!

 

[treblehunter]

Cool find.
Idk?

Looks like a fourth century Roman Bronze Coin of Julian11, but with out a legend it's hard to say.

Dads thoughts;
Picture shown appears to be a CONSTANTINE I Follis circa AD 315-325, Can read CONSTAN-TIN[ ] but need to see reverse and idea of size plus weight.

I thought about him, but the neck doesn't look thick enough.

Cleaned it a bit

I'm dying to hear more about this coin, what a fantastic find. Can it possibly be authentic, and not a replica? The condition seems almost to good to be true.

I think thats spot-on, other than the mint, that looks to be the Second mint, not the Primary. ie SA-crescent-RL (although it might just be corrosion??)

Its real.

 

[Donald70448]

It looks real and yes it took some time to clean it up to this point, it's close to the size of penny, a tad bigger but a little thinner then penny

Geeze......and I thought it was a hobo nickel.
