You can see some residual on one or two of them. I have zero idea if any of these are real/fake, reproductions or valuable. Tahnks for any info. I have more but "only" posted pics of 4....

The first and third coins are copies of Judaean "widow's mites" from about the lifetime of Jesus. Second is a "tribute penny", a denarius of Tiberius. Fourth is a copy of a coin of King Herod. It probably would have been impossible to tell whether they were genuine or not while encased in a slab of plastic.

That was partly why I thought there was an outside chance they were real. He was an SDA minister in CA 1920-40. Here's an example, most date 1400s-1600s Report this Post to the Staff
