echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 4:26 pm Please post one or two coins at a time, it makes it much more easier to ID them. Coins 1,2,5, 6,7, and 8 are Roman Republic. Coin 4 purports to be Julius Caesar, but doesn't look right. Need a better picture. Coins 10 & 11 are Roman Imperial. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 9:26 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
