🔎 UNIDENTIFIED I.D. on Roman Coin

[ANTIQUARIAN]

A good friend recently gifted this Roman coin to me. I've done some online research, but without much luck.
I'm hoping an expert here might be able to date this coin and let me know it's value.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks very much Don, you're the man!

Now the big question... does it have any monetary value?

Its denomination is likely a Sestertius (assuming its over 28mm & the weight is about 18g), then its probably worth about $50 in that condition.

Thank you Cru, I sincerely appreciate you posting this information.

Personally, I think it's a great coin and if I owned it and had to sell, I'd start the bidding at $100 and hold firm.

Hi Dave,

Was this the surprise received in the mail you mentioned? Pretty sweet coin! I think you owe that dude a six pack or something 😆
