Old Find Cleaned....Roman Silver.

Thought I would show you the coin that was found the same day I got the Gold Sovereign, this was actually found by Michael my detecting buddy

At the time it didn't get much interest maybe because of the Goldy, well now it's been cleaned and ID properly, and it's such a loverly coin I thought I would show you it again

Romn Silver Siliqua of ValantinianI, struck at Arles, Ad 364-367.

Two great coins Colin, sometimes you find such quality in a coin, and then discover one right next to it, and its horrible. Funny how some spots in soil sort of protect a coin, and other spots just eat them...
