rare roman coin found

A man with a metal detector unearthed a coin that bears the head of a mystery emperor who ruled Britain for a matter of days. There only exists one other coin like it that was found in France, but until now it was dismissed as a fake.

Too bad there isn't a way to see what that coin has seen. Imagine the history behind it.

Hey my friend at school found a coin that says the words,OKLAHOMA FEDERATED AND NEWMISMATICS INC. can you tell me the price worthy of this coin please respond A.S.A.P AND it has a setting eagle on the back and the front has the statue of liberty's head and says 999 fine silver and one troy oz.

I think that it is a Statue of Liberty silver dollar. I see them selling for, oh, 30.00-40.00 dollars. Your friend can get at least 7.00+ dollars for pure silver value.

My son has found a coin which we think is Roman. We cannot find anything similar on the net and hope you can help us to identify it and value it!
It is bronze and on the front is a figure holding something in both raised hands and the figure is between the letters S and C. The legible letters around the edge are AETERNITAS (I think) and STI.

On the reverse side is a head of a man facing to the right. The letters which I can make out are HADRIANVSAVCDMT ( there are other letters before and after which I cannot decipher. There are also 3 letters stamped on the front and back which are WRL (these look newer and are they from a museum?)
