The coin is a Roman sestertius and made of bronze. The letters SC on the reverse confirms this. If it was a Roman gold coin of around the same age (a solidus or an aureus) it would only need to have the dirt rinsed off as the gold would not tarnish or corrode even after almost 2,000 years in the soil.
I bought a lot of coins in a rusty metal box, I decided to clean all the coins. So it's good that others can see these steps, and I share them on RU-vid. I hope you enjoy them too.
SC stands for Senatus Consulto - senate was not allowed to mint gold coins under emperors, and in republican era was no gold coins in Rome as far as I know.
Thank you for your good information, it is a fake coin, but the material of the coin is gold, the value of this coin is only the amount of gold in it. The people who forged this coin were looking to make an ancient artifact. The coin is made of gold. When someone tests the coin and sees that it is gold, he believes in the ancientness and history of the coin.
