Junk Jewelry??? I THINK NOT!!! Gold Score!!!

[Shauna13]

On my last Goodwill Hunt of the year, I think I made a MAJOR Score.


In a junk Jewelry Jar for $30, I scored this

A 14kt Yellow Gold Cufflink with Ancient Roman Coin

If anyone can help me with information on this AMAZING Treasure, it would be much appreciated.


I also got a 14kt GF necklace
1/20 12kt Gold necklace
14kt Diamond Earring
couple other 1/20 12kt gold pieces

Most bronze Roman coins are so cheap they could be used for this, but yours is hard to ID. It seems to start MAXIMI which would only fit Maximinus but the last letters do not fit ANY of his legends:

MAXIMINVSAVG	Maximinus II A.D. 309-313
MAXIMINVSAVGVSTVS	Maximinus II A.D. 309-313

MAXIMINVSPIVSAVGGERM	Maximinus I A.D. 235-238
MAXIMINVSPIVSAVGGERMPMTRPIICOSPP	Maximinus I A.D. 235-238

So it leads me to think its a copy, but if it is, its a really convincing one. Any others got ideas?

I to am having a hard time locating any other Roman Coins, with the last letter Markings. It seems very old in making (does not feel or look like copy), and is corroded green, thick.
