Roman Julian II ? Real or reproduction?

[muerte33]

I dug this coin a couple of days ago, and it looks like a Roman Julian II.
It weighs 7.5 grams, is 27.13mm in diameter, and about 2mm thick.
It is a little larger than a Sacagawea dollar coin.
Is something like this worth sending to NGC or PCGS?



Thanks in advance!

If it's authentic, it would be worth getting identified and graded.
If real, it's an AE-1 coin (majorina) from within the years 360-363 AD.
The mint mark: CVZB represents Cyzicus, in modern day Turkey.

I have no idea why people would feel the need to slab it, it would cost more than its worth in that condition.
Leave it out of the tomb, it is real.

@Mac, might be 'CYZB' as well, as those letters are not visible, otherwise spot on ID.

You dug it in MISS ?

Yes lots of Roman Coins get dug in the US, kids show & tell mostly likely.

(proves to me it was relatively inexpensive, otherwise you wouldn't let your kids lose on it)​

Cru,
I agree; more probable to have mint mark CYZB as shown here on this double maiorina (AE1) minted on behalf of Juian in the second office of Cyzicus during the triennium 361-363.
