allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 9:34 pm Can't say anything about the first, but the second coin is a 50 Lepta from Greece. It is Copper-nickel and the catalog number is KM#80. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 10:39 pm The first coin appears to be an ancient Roman provinicial coin of the emperor Nero. It looks like it may be real but I need to do some checking to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 10:52 pm I found a match to your Nero coin, it's an AR (silver) Tetradrachm from the Antioch mint, RPC# 4189. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe your coin is real. Report this Post to the Staff
