Re: Ancient Roman Silver Coin
You should take this piece to a knowledgeable local coin dealer. The pictures aren't quality enough to tell if it is even real or not, and if the coin is that bright in person and not caused by the cameras flash, it has surely been cleaned. Cleaning any old coin is a big no no and can make the piece worth a fraction of an uncleaned coins value. Too many variables, a in person professional should be able to make a more accurate finding.
