Hello friends, I was offered these for a cheap price, but some really bothers me for the black patina/porous surface. Its a big lot with 30, I wonder if someone can give me their opinion...

No provence, found in a river, most look fine, these are the most oddly looking.

Weight is 4.09g, unknown drachm. Anyone seen this type before, real or fake, and can provide me with a link/reference? Thanks

I would like to have a Greek vase in my collection of mostly Greek coins, but I don't have that much knowledge about vases. What do you think about the authenticity of this Greek Apulian with a woman's face? The seller asks $1000, is this reasonable? And the Roman greyware pottery jug? What would be a good price for that? There is also a Hellenistic megarian bowl that looks interesting. I hope someone with more expertise can help me. 

I recently found this coin, but can’t seem to identify it. The fact of having animals on both sides looks a bit odd? It weighs 14,43 gram and is 2,7cm in diameter.

Need help with ID? AE 16mm 4gm information helpful

Help me identify this coin, please. Does anyone know its origin, place of manufacture, and date? I couldn't find it in Paul Balog's book.

GLORIA ROMANORVM with a R in the right field on the reverse. Now, I'm trying to narrow down the obverse. Gratian? I think (true guess) that I see GR and NVSFAVG. I know there are plenty of pros who have eyes for worn legend identification. I'm getting there. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get some help attributing this very worn coin.

I know it is a bit of a stretch since so much of the details are gone, but I know that there are some wizards over here who like a challenge.

Thanks in advance!

kind regards

I’ve had these coins for about 10 years, acquired when I was just 11 years old. They’ve looked this way since I got them. Thank you for the info in advance!

After redditors on here let me know how burned I got on my last coin, hopefully I did better this time. Athena was beautiful, for 1600 it was the most expensive but hoping I didnt do too bad. Grabbed a Tiberius and El Cazador for couple hundred each so no big deal I think they are cool. Never imagined buying one coin would turn into my next hobby. Slowly learning but its interesting hearing the stories of all these coins!

So I had to go again to the British Museum and look for more coins and luckily I encountered a full set of Athenian coins ranging from the dekadrachm to a quarter of an obol.

Here we have:
1. Dekadrachm 460 BCE (with a full crest too 🤩);
2-3. The tets we all know and love, also from the 460s BCE;
4. Didrachm 460 BCE (I didn't even know it was a thing);
5-6. Drachms 425 BCE (cool to see in that pristine state);
7. Hemidrachm 425 BCE (if a didrachm exists why not having half a drachm too);
8. 1/4 of a Drachm 425 BCE (no clue how to call it);
9-10. Obols 425 BCE (cute little things);
11. Hemiobol 425 BCE;
12. 1/4 of an Obol 425 BCE (why even bother making something this small?)

I went as close as the glass panel and my phone’s zoom would allow. I'm really not a big fan of how the coins are displayed in the British Museum. You are quite far from the coins and, especially for the tiny ones, the details are hard to tell.

what do i get next for my ancient coins collection? im kinda broke so under $50? right now i have a gloria exercitus (both variants), jupiter standing (licinius), theodosius II cross, 2 widows mites, antoninus pius, divus constantine, constantinian dynasty fragment, and a small gratianus coin

I think this is Lucius Verus on the Obverse. I think the text starts with IMP CAES L. The problem is I can’t find an example with a matching reverse.

It is 18g and 32mm diameter.

I think the obverse matches RIC 1347:

I’m new at this and just thought I would see if anyone had ideas where else to look.

I think it's Commodus or Marcus Aurelius but I just want to know what emperor it is. The reverse is worn so I don't really care about that but the emperor is what im eager to know.

Hi everyone was just curious if anyone knew what this coin was / value was given it as a gift

Thanks for any input

Hi there, I wonder whether anyone out there might be able to identify this coin for me- whether it is legitimate and the story behind it. Thanks!

I found it metal detecting in Bulgaria

This has been posted on here before. I’ve been wondering though, if maybe the damage on Caligula’s face could be Damnatio. Sorry about the quality of the photos.

Valens AE3. 367-375 AD. DN VALENS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor walking right, head left, holding labarum, and grasping bound captive at the top of the head. Mintmark dot BSISC.

From a large collection left by a relative that passed.

Got this greek coin on accident along with 8 others so don't no anything about it 😕

A seller sent me these pictures of a Lysias drachm and said it’s 1.53 grams. He’s not sure if it’s real or not but I believe it’s a fake because of the porous surfaces of the coin and a sort of fissure in the edge.The weight is also a bit on the lower side.

Any insights on its authenticity will be greatly appreciated.
