Roman coin while sorting dimes

Postby fasteddy » Tue Nov 01, 2016 2:49 pm

Hey y'all, last night while sorting a bunch of dimes I found a dark kinda greenish coin. It is about the size of a dime. It looks to be copper from the patina and it does have a Roman looking head on it. It is not circular, it is kinda oblong. I will try to photo tonight and post a pic.

Could it be a widow's mite they give them out to kids at church. We have found them.
