Spartcom5 Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 06/29/2017 10:56 pm Hey everyone picked these up for $30 all together. Pretty happy with these coins. Hopefully you all can help me out in identifying some! Thise first coin is probably the best of the lot because of the detail. Some green gunk/corrosion, any idea how I could remove it or even if I should try? This next coin is the biggest coin I have bought yet. Not great detail but overall it's alright. I do know it's Byzantine and I think it's Justinian I. Correct me if I am wrong! Don't know the date however. Next coin has alright detail, much much better in person than these pictures. Quite shiny so I assume it was cleaned sometime. These final two coins are silver. I think one of them is a Spanish cob? And the other should be a Middle Age coin from Rome? Thanks for any help!! I am really enjoying getting into ancients. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 01:32 am @spartcom5, your last coin looks like an Edwardian penny from England. It seems unusually perfectly round though. It is probably fine, but could you also show an edge pic and just confirm that a magnet isn't attracted to it?

Spartcom5 Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 02:47 am I tested it and the magnet is not attracted to it. You're right it definitely is an Edwardian Penny! Thanks guys! Any idea on the big Byzantine or the cob anyone? Those are the last two! Also, should I do anything to remove the green corrosion on the Constantius? Feeling pretty good about the $30 I spent this time around! Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/01/2017 6:53 pm The last appears to be an Edward I penny, Canterbury mint, EDWA legend type. The excessively round nature of the planchet suggests filing or clipping. Obv: EDWA R ANGL DNS HYB = EDWARD REX ANGLORUM DOMINUS HIBERNIAE = Edward, King of the Angles, Lord of Hybernia (Ireland) Rev: CIVI/TAS CAN/TOR (City of Canterbury) I would add that #1 is Constantius II with the GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse with two standards between two soldiers, facing and helmeted, of Siscia (SIS), RIC VII.221 The #4 is a Spanish cob, the date area (top right of the first picture) is not entirely visible, presumably Philip II or III...
