Re: I found what? in Texas? (kinda solved)

if it was part of a coin collecters "collection" that was "stashed" away in the home * and the house later got was totalled --- there may very well be other"interesting" coins still waiting to be found , simce most coin collecter type folks do not have just one coin in their collection normally --with a bit of luck they might have squirreled away some silver coins and even gold ones --I'd say its well worth your time ro check that spot out very well.

Very plausible that someone left it behind. Also very plausible that it was part of a bigger collection someone left behind. Looks like you've got a real honey hole to check out very carefully. Looking forward to seeing the next one(s) you dig up!

Deja vu... well it seems I am not alone... so this has all been done before....

so... Ecclesiastes 1:9

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

still rings true... LOL

I would feel the same way if I found something like that My brother found one a few months ago here in NY. We had a friendly competition going on who could find the oldest coin... I've conceded

Wow I can't believe how often this has happened in recent times... Its more common than I thought it was... well at least that gives my story validity... just because others have found ancient coins in America too...

I believe Emperor Aurelian (AD270-276) took the "SC" privilege from the Senate--so that might be a date range for the latest date your coin could be.

Roman coins are cool to find here in the states but not at all uncommon to find at coin shows. I agree this was very likely lost from someone's collection. Just to show how cheap they can be here is a small group of "uncleaned" Roman coins I recently bought on Ebay for 2 bucks each. Some I have started to clean & others are as they came out of the ground.

I think my Dad's nailed the ID!

I believe I have cracked this one. If you look closely I believe you can see CA[E]SAR AVG F DOM[ITIANVS COS IIII]. The Reverse is SPES standing left lifting her skirt and holding a Flower (which one cannot see). At its weight and size it is an AS. Assuming my I.D. is right this would be a RIC 926 dated 76 AD

I do believe you nailed it! CRUSADER WINS! WOW very nice! I would assume that if it had any value you would of stated so already... either way I'll stick it in a coin holder and put it in my book...

This is a great resource and place to hang out LOL... thanks you again for all you guys that help me ID stuff. I understand its your passion as it is mine... can't wait to see all your new find in the future!

Your right most Roman Coins have very little value, if you got $5 for it you would be doing well

Hmmm...very difficult without the full legend of the coin visible could also be Vespasian..
