    Well circulated.
    I'm curious to find out where it was minted.
    The stories that coin could tell.

    Well circulated, and/or well worn from being in the ground for 1,900 years!

    According to Suarez (Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins II), this piece was minted between 64-68 A.D. in Roma.

    Yes, but will it turn up on "Pawn Stars"?

    hah!

    I just saw the episode with the Caligula denarius, I thought it looked questionable but clearly it was deemed authentic, hell of a coin

    Don't know how accurate the article is, but if true its interesting that it was found in 4th century strata. Good quality gold I suppose and the condition indicates that it banged around for a long time.

    Thanks for sharing the link. I find stories like this fascinating and they really get the "little grey cells" and imagination moving.
