Arael Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 11:48 pm I don't know what coin this is. And I'm fairly new so take what I say with a grain of salt, but based on the fact that they were all found together and look very similar, I am very suspicious as to their authenticity.

Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 03:58 am The "tribute penny" is one of the more valuable ancient Roman coins, because of high demand: "Biblical" collectors want one because it is (most likely) the coin type that Jesus asked for and held up in Matthew 22:19. And "Twelve Caesars" and "One from Each Emperor" collectors want one as an example of Emperor Tiberius. If they were real, they'd be worth $500 to $1000 each. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, they are not real. Being a popular and desirable coin, they are also very commonly replicated, for sale to tourists. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
rasiel Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 06:17 am Nah, if they were real they'd be worth around $200 each. You can easily see they came from the same mold (divot on cheek in same place). These don't even look like they're silver. Tin, pewter? Ras Report this Post to the Staff
