Title: 2nd roman coin, won't be cleaning this one though :-) Post by: sharkey on August 26, 2013, 05:24:57 PM after completely cleaning the detail off my first roman coin (lesson learnt trust me!), i luckily found my second whilst out with monkeymad yesterday. ;D
from what i can see and read i came up with it being a coin of 'trajan'. any more info on it will be greatly appreciated. measures 18mm across. found with the Deus in gm power on stubble, was a challenging day to say the least!

Possibly dipped but that bluey black colour looks like silver to me ;)
