cjaccardi New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/05/2012 02:30 am Hi, I got some coins from my grandfather who use to collect roman coins. How can I tell what grade they are in. For example the coin below. Sorry my scanner flipped the head side of the coin , and I did not know how to unflip it so its reversed from the actual direction it is facing.

Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 06/05/2012 02:56 am Hi cjaccardi, .... very nice coin, great color, well struck, they don't grade Ancients like modern coins, if were a modern coin I would grade this coin x-fine to almost uncirculated... very nice to have in your in your collection...

That one is a beauty! This coin is not quite mint state, for the same reason, I agree with Gil-gilad. EF+. Report this Post to the Staff
