Since you already made the A.D. 68 dudes proud, go and make the 68 B.C. dudes proud. ;)

Crusader, you have done it again  that is a great looking coin that is full of wonderful history. I would be on my bed now dreaming about who lost the coin? what did he or she look like? Was it a rich or poor person? Well you know what I mean..... Each find tells a story  God bless Peter |

Below is all I had until I got back to my bike. I thought I will just try along the edge for a few minutes as I needed to be back in time for Mum's Birthday meal. First signal was strong & being close to the gateway I thought it was a piece of broken can. So very surprised to see a Roman Silver. I did a Rex Hunt kiss but never put it back  Its our 4th Roman silver this year which is already a record & we are only halfway through the year  I'm waiting for Gunner's thoughts as its not in my Sears book & I believe it to be a Very Rare Variant.  |

http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s2100.htmlIDed the coin. Problem was I couldn't see any lettering before GALBA which would make it unlisted. However I now can just make out the top of the 'S' for SER GALBA IMPERATOR Still a VERY RARE coin
