Need help identifying this coin so I can submit please. 1 1

I really need some help identifying this coin. I don't know if I should submit for grading but if I do I'm gonna need information to fill out the forms.

Just so you know, the clear majority of ancient coin collectors never have a single coin submitted for grading. Yes, the minority who do so is slowly growing, but if you go to any major show with ancient coin dealers ( the coins are ancient, not the dealers ) you will see very few graded pieces. Raw is king.

Welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately, making matters murkier is the apparent fact our newly-minted member does not know what he has: what he seeks is positive ID... Is there anyone in the house who knows exactly what this coin is and whether its value outweighs the cost of submission?

I would love to sell it. Just don't know where. I just thought I would do better monetary wise if I graded it. Also it's hard for me to price without knowing exactly what it is. I e heard so many different things.

Yes sir thank you. I've heard something like devarius caesar and I've heard someone say it was during caesars reign. Someone sent me a internet picture that looks gold but same picture. No more information. I'll attach photo.

@JKK is very good help with ancients. Hes helped me before when I was completely lost. 

Please dont hold the coin by the face. Contaminants get on the coin and damage it. Also fingerprints are very unattractive as the coin tones over time.

Even NGC’s famous authentication guarantee does not apply to ancients.

Clear, cropped pictures, oriented correctly, would have been a great help, along with weight in grams and diameter in millimeters. But I think I found your coin anyway. Try this link: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s1427.html#RSC_0047
