Well if my 2nd known Roman coin in the world are anything to go by, you might be in for a rough ride. With mine being the only known provenance example! Still, it looks good!

PS. Sorry my cynicism.

sscindercoop, that is an incredible find. Wonderful thing to find a coin so rare that you need help finding out what it is. I would say it is safe to say that very few of us will ever have that issue. Though it may be a copper it is most certainly banner worthy in my opinion and will get my vote. Congrats my friend.

My mistake, it is a great find, just my desperation showing.

That is an incredible find! Congrats on finding such a rare piece of history. My buddy that owns a coin shop was showing me a Machin's Mills minted copper that he owns today and gave me a quick lesson on some of the rare coppers out there. Very cool to see this one posted today. I dream of finding a rare specimen some day and am happy to see this one. Great, great job on finding that beauty. All the best, Abe

Took a quick look and nothing jumped out to argue the variety, but think you got your wires crossed a little on the rarity.

As IP may be suggesting, I believe the rarity is R-4 (76-200). Either way, it's still an exceptional coin and find.

If u click on the link in my listing coinfacts shows an R6 rarity, Stacks list's it as an R5 and Mackaydon's link says R4

Thanks Mackaydon, I see it listed as an R4 in your link, Click on my link and it shows it having an R6 rarity. Either way it's at least a very scarce variety.

Did you clean it with that method you would not share with anyone?
