Hello
I was pointed out on https://goccf.com/t/140916 to post more detailed pictures of my ancient coins here.

So here we go, soem of them have been halfway identified on the thread above but there's some more in these back/front scans which I have no clue about, #5 looks like possibly Roman and if it worth something then I might keep that one for myself, here's the pics:

I just like to find out how much I can reasonably ask for these (Any suggestions where I could sell them Iit would be great too, I tried eBid.net but there aren't many people using it, (fe)eBay seems to be the way to go if I want a faster turnaround but yeah, the feeeees....

#5 is a Tetradrachm of Diocletian from Alexandria and is authentic.
A K Î"OY Λ Î"IOKΛHIANOC CЄB
L B

Year 2 issue meaning it was minted between 285-286AD.

eBid is a ghost town, too many high priced 'buy it now's and not enough low start auctions drive the buyers away. It should be worth about a tenner on ebay.

Bottom right (7) is Byzantine but I'm not sure who it is, someone will know - if its common your probably looking at about £5.

Not sure about the others,

#1 - Not sure what it is.

#2 is a Roman Provincial Judaea - Roman Procurator Antonius Felix. A close up photo needs to be taken and the coin rotated correctly to see the date on the coin.

#3 It is a Judaean coin. It also needs to be positioned right and a closeup photo. Looks like the first Judaean revolt, there is the amphora on the obverse. I can't really tell what's on the reverse.

#4 is also Judaean. It also needs a closeup photo and rotated into position. Looks like Hasmonean. Probably Alexander Jannaeus.

#6 - Some medieval coin. I know nothing about it.

#7 - Byzantine. Difficult to tell which emperor since most of the legends is worn off. A lot of these large folles coins look a like.

Hi number 7 is a IUSTINUS I follis (518-527)as we can read NVS PP AUG on the right side of the obverse,large M on the reverse,even the bust type is more similar to justinus than justinianus(other possibility of identification)but I think Justinus is right.

impressive knowledge of coins!
thanks for that people! I do have another one which I have to take a picture of when I find the time lately obsessed with going through a bucket of English Pennies to find good dates;)
