pepperlizard New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 11:41 pm When I was in high school I was put into a group for a project for an english class. The other two people in the group were known for not caring about school or their academic future and one of them told me that if I did the entire project and put their names on it he would make it worth my while. After we presented the project he handed me an envelope with about 20-30 coins that he said were from ancient Rome and ancient Greece, one of these coins looks like it is from somewhere in the middle-east however. They have been sitting on my shelves for 5 years now and I'm really curious to know what I have and if they are possibly worth anything. I could only find 4 coins that could be clearly seen, all of the others still need to be cleaned before anyone will be able to see anything on them. Coin one: Coin two: Coin three: Coin four: And the rest of the uncleaned coins: Report this Post to the Staff

Coin 2 is a Roman Provinical. #3 also appears to be the emperor Constans. #4 is not ancient I believe it's fron Turky the date is in the arabic system AH 1299. Report this Post to the Staff
pepperlizard New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 02:10 am Do any of these coins hold any value to them? I was told that the second coin is 50% gold, but I don't know enough about it to say that it is or ins't. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2899 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 03:51 am I'm afraid the Roman Provincial does not contain any gold. The base metals used in these often look brassy. The modern coin is from Morocco My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
