That is a very nice find. We don't have coins that old over here. Congratulations on a very nice find.

Pierre, where are you situated to find such ancient coins ? What was the VID number on the X-Terra ? It would be the find of a lifetime for me.

Just kidding. Great find, although I haven't seen one here in North Texas yet...

i'm in the south-west of France near Charente. The VID was26-32 non stable but i'm curious so i dig. I find the coin in a field near a passage of a river and you know that romans give a coin to the river at every passage. I think that the river went into the field and transport some coins in it.

Merci, salutations du Quebec.

No chance in hell of us finding this here but it's always an eye opener to see these specimens from another time.

that's amazing to find something that small from so long ago.

back when that thing was struck, we still had live dinosaurs roaming the land here in the U.S.

great find.
