enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 06:08 am Ive had a go at attributing some of these. Others I simply cant. If people could tell me how accurate my attribution is and give a rough value of my coin it would be MUCH appreciated. Had a search on vcoins/wildwinds etc couldnt find anything close. Again I have no idea I came up with something for this one: SALONINA Antoninianus 256-257 AD CORN SALONIA AVG Diademed, draped bust right of crescent VESTA Vest standing left, holding patera and sceptre RIC 39 I gave this one a soak in distilled water and used a rose thorn to remove most of the crud that can be seen in this pre-cleaning photo. I came up with: POSTUMUS Anotoninianus 260-269 AD IMP C POSTMVS P F AVG radiate, draped, curaissed, right MONETA AVG moneta left with scales and cornucopiae RIC 75 Had a bit of trouble finding this one but came up with: MAXIMINUS II Follis Serdica Mint 309-313 AD GAL VAL MAXIMINUS NOB CAESER laurer=ate head right GENIOPOPV L I ROMANI SMSD Genius, left, holding patera and cornocopia RIC 13b Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 12:09 pm Photos #2 & 4 look like the Statue of Liberty on a bad day, and photo #3 looks like my ex giving me the "bird" when I sent her on her way... Seriously, I have no idea what coins you have and also have some ancient coins that I should post here... Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 2:02 pm Coin #2 is Gallienus like echizento said. I think it is RIC 10j var.: Gallienus Billon Antoninianus. GALLIENVS P F AVG, radiate head right / DEO MARTI, Mars standing left leaning on shield in tetrastyle temple. Look at this on wildwinds: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/gall...bl_0889i.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 5:08 pm Both unknowns are Gallienus. The first looks like a clashed die reverse with enough damage to the die that I am not able to read it. Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 7:53 pm Thanks jwharper I think youve hit the nail on the head with the second coin pictured. The first one seems pretty buggered. How did I go with the other three I did on my own? Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 8:09 pm I think you are correct on your other attribtions. I had to double check on the Maximinus II. The sources all say SM dot SD and it's hard to tell for sure that your coin has the dot, but I think it does. You may be able to tell better with it in hand. Regards, Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 05/06/2012 8:58 pm Quote: The first one seems pretty buggered Indeed - it has the attributes of Gallienus, Victorinus and even maybe Claudius II, only really the bust style to go on as the legend is not readable - this would be a very tricky attribution for many collectors not just beginners, you did good with the others Doug is almost certainly correct with a clashed die Gallienus. Value wise the first two are $5-10 and and the second two are maybe $10-20. Postumus always seems to sell well and Maximinus II coins are not as common as many of those of his peers.
