If I may ask, what was the context of acquiring these unidentified? This lot is worth probably minimum $500-750; if you paid less you either got the deal of the century or most/all counterfeits. They DO look genuine, but to find a scarcer and desirable Augustus denarius unattributed seems unusual to me.

#1 M Carbo 122 BC, there are known fakes of this one, this looks OK though.
#2 Having a hard time with the Gens of this one. Might be P Laea. Closest one I found was for P Laeca but the coin doesn't match.
#4 is C Platius 121 BC

2 is P. Maenius Antiaticus, 132 BC. He must have REALLY liked ligatures.

Last lot for ancients, The first lot I know to be Parthian, I believe them to be Vonones II 49-51AD?   Next are the last of the coins   For this one, thanks for identifying it as Celtic, does anyone know what Tribe it would belong to?   |

In that last lot: Yes, the Parthian drachms are Vonones II, Sellwood 67.1 for both. The coin after that is a billon tetradrachm from Alexandria with a reverse of Tyche holding a rudder and single cornucopia. It may be an issue of Maximianus.

Thanks everyone so very much! I appreciate all the help! Along with these, I got some old hand hammered English Groats and shillings. Really cool learning new things. Appreciate everything!
