chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:38 pm Do you have the diameter and weight? From the pictures I can tell you that it is of Trajan, although I don't know if it's a sestertius or dupondius. The reverse is Vesta I think but I could easily be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
lovecoins Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:41 pm are trajan coins overall valueable or rare Report this Post to the Staff
chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:47 pm Not particularly rare, no, though I'm sure certain issues are. Without the size/weight I can't figure out what this one is but based on the condition I'd expect it to go for under on around $100. That's just an off the cuff estimate though.

lovecoins Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:53 pm does the fairly good planchet add any value Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 9:48 pm It would help if the images where facing the right way around and more clearer. Your coin is an AS of the emperor Trajan. I can't make out the reverse legend so I don't have a reference number for you. The coin isn't rare and based on condition probablt worth in the range of $40-$50. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 10:47 pm Ron, Could this be close to the reverse type? (although I think I see "III" rather than "II" before the "PP" on lovecoins' reverse) : http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=78133 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 11:37 pm Bob, it appear to be the same coin type the COS III should really doesn't make that much of a difference. So it's a Sestertius, well that would increase the value a bit, Maybe $125 or so. If we could get clearer pictures to see the condition it may increase a bit more. Report this Post to the Staff
