What's this?

Sorry for the bad pic. My camera doesn't do detail well.

It says 'Constantine' on it. Got it off the magnet from the coin machine today.

Looks like a copy of a roman coin...they didn't make magnetic coins

I found a similar Roman coin in a bag. It was marked COPY.

Re: What's this?

I found a Roman coin in a bag of dimes earlier this year.

Originally, the coin was quite caked in dirt/mud. But after quite a bit of cleaning I finally could identify it. It was in pretty good shape once it got cleaned up.

Tuns out mine was
Constantine the Great (320 AD minted in Siscia)

Never thought I'd find a coin older than the U.S.
