72 AD Roman Coin, actually dug it up in my yard as a 12(1973) year old, someone must have lost it, started me off coin collecting and eventually MD'ing. Authentic, but many thought to be reproduction due to it semi-clean and centered strike.
Challenge any one to find one(same coin) pictured anywhere in as good a shape
