I bought 2 with different results, will update
I bought two coins, one from ACH which is listed as the Amazon prime seller that comes up for the item, then I selected one from seller Beverly Oaks LLC, which was listed for 8.99 and prime but didn't indicate anything different from the photo. Both coins arrived as expected. One coin came in a very nice plastic presentation pouch with a COA that looked well printed, and the coin was sealed in a well fitted sleeve, just generally an excellent presentation. The coin looks bronze or copper, I'm not sure. It's small, pretty chewed up but the head on the front is pretty detailed so not bad. The second coin I received came in a standard coin sleeve, stapled shut and no plastic sleeve. The COA wasn't as nicely printed, and was bent at the corner. The coin itself was actually not bad, pretty big, looks like iron maybe, but I'm not sure. I'm going to research and figure out what I've got here because they're obviously very different. Unfortunately I can't tell which seller sent me which coin...thanks Amazon for tossing it all in a padded envelop with no invoice and nothing denoting which seller is which in case there's a problem! I've added some photos of the packing sleeves which have inventory stickers. I expect the sellers will be able to distinguish which is theirs. And I hope the seller with the nicer presentation will respond to this review since many people are hoping to receive what is in the photo, and end up with what I got in that second coin (just a stapled sleeve and slip of paper). As for both the coins, I'll let folks judge the photos. It's for my son and he loves Rome so as long as he's pleased, I'm happy. I will say that the plastic sleeve is better for long term durability and I wish both coins had come with it. But since I only paid 8.99 for the second (the one from Beverly LLC) I wouldn't be surprised if that's the one with the cheaper presentation.

Great item, exactly as described
We received the coin after a very fast delivery, and were really pleased by the quality of it.First of all, the coin seems to be genuine. The color, the shape, the mold - all of it seems accurate as per my research to verify if it was a fake or not. Price-wise, since it is a bronze coin, it's not surprising to be that cheap, it wasn't even worth much at the time of the roman empire. So as a whole, the product is worth it.Second of all, the presentation is really excellent. It is presented in its own personal protection, as seen on pictures. It however doesn't impair how it looks, so you can enjoy it without fear of rusting. On top of that, opposite to the coin is the certificate, which not only provides quality insurance but also a brief description of the time period and coin manufacturing at the time.Considering the many coins you can find online, I was impressed by the price/quality of this precise product. I might buy a few more as gift, for they are perfect piece of history that everybody should have.

Good value, authentic, I would say yes
Bought mine at a great discount, was skeptical after seeing some photos of what buyers received. Mine came in a timely manner. The coin and COA are inside a rubber like casing for presentation (will stand up on its own when opened). I was skeptical of the authenticity of it. I looked up the signer (it’s printed, not written) on google. The signer does work for a reputable company that has been around for more than 50 years that basically wholesale buys old coins and then sells them. My coin was in great condition in comparison to some of the ones buyers posted. I suppose it’s the luck of the draw. If you want further information google Robin L Danziger (COA signer)Would buy again for the price I paid, would be good for a history enthusiast or even just a cool conversation piece.Hope this helpsRyan

Great for history lovers!
I got this as a gift for my boyfriend who loved history, and especially Roman history, and he couldn't have been happier. The company seems to be legit, and to receive an actual piece of history through Amazon is quite the cool experience. It looks rusty and well-worn, but that’s to be expected! You can still see Constantine's bust printed on it, which is very impressive! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to history lovers!

Very cool and can’t beat the price
Very cool and can’t beat the price. I ordered 2 and one of them is in better shape and higher quality, but both are great to show as artifacts and pass around my classroom when studying Ancient Rome!

100% Satisfied.
After reading previous reviews, I was nervous of the quality of the selected coin. After receiving my coin, I am 100% satisfied! We all need to remember that every coin tells its own unique story within its surface. The quality of the coin itself its spectacular and the packaging was awesome! Thank you guys for this great piece of history!

Novelty for History buffs, if you are lucky
Ok, I bought my first coin last year 2018. It arrived as promised, nicely packaged, with COA. The first coin is larger than my second coin, bought this week, and more clear. Being 1700yrs old one expects to not have perfection. That said, the second order was smaller and much worse quality than the previous purchase. It comes down to luck of the draw with these coins. Some are legible and some are not. All are damaged and the relief on both sides are not the greatest. I was hoping my second purchase would be equal to, or better, than the first. Not what happened. Overall I am satisfied with owning a piece of history; however, it would be nice to be able to make out the features of the coin. I have seen great examples in some photos, but mine are nowhere near their clarity or quality. It is a novelty for History buffs, just be mundful, it is luck of the draw. M.C. Bryan
