This is an opportunity to own a rare piece of history minted between 450-457 AD. This is a genuine coin of Marcian, known as a Christian emperor, struck in bronze, and in the exact condition you see pictured.  This coin features a portrait of Marcian on the obverse and a cross within a wreath on the reverse.   This is a coin that has been sought after by collectors for years.  It is a chance to own one that is guaranteed authentic.  Grading is subjective.  In my opinion, this coin is CH F. A little strategic patina removal could highlight some of the finer details that are present. There are few examples known of this coin and even fewer have Marcian's name legible as it is on this one. Here is more information on this great coin below:
