The first coin in the fourth group is either too badly worn or the image is too bad to attribute. The second coin is a Constantine I campgate, but I need to be able to read the mintmark at the bottom of the reverse. It looks like SM - - dot or SH __ dot or SA _ _ dot. Without the mintmark, I won't be able to narrow it down.

I probably didn't check them all, but all coins that I saw attributed to Otacilia Severa were minted from silver. This may strengthen your fears that it's a fake.

However, I enjoy trying to attribute the coins. Good luck on the uncleaned lot. I guess you need to just jump in and get some. |

Even before the evidence DVC provided, I was fairly certain this coin was a fake. However, now I'm more than convinced.

Wow thanks guys.  jwharper: Second coin in the fourth group, inscription on bottom of reverse to me looks like SNNS dot. What do you make of that? Do anyone know anything about coins in fifth group? For the first one I was told its Arcadius AE4, is that correct? Any other info on it? |

jwharper:
Mintmark-
Its similar but not the same, on that coin as I can see its SMHS. Am I right? But on my coin it SN (third letter is blurry but I think its N) and S at the end. I'm pretty sure that second letter is N because the middle line isn't horizontal like on H.
