Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 6:49 pm Ideally, we'll need to see both sides of both coins. More close-up pictures would also allow us to read the lettering on the smaller coin. Right now I can't read anything on it. All we can tell about them at the moment is "they look Roman", although the larger one looks more Roman Provincial to me. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 5:52 pm Here is a good example of a better picture of both sides helping to identify a coin properly. Because, unfortunately, it is now clear that this coin is a modern replica. You can see that the lettering to the right if the large "SC" is a different size to the rest of the lettering in the surrounding legend - this is something you just don't see on genuine ancient coins. This different lettering says something like "COD TESAFILM", or maybe "COL TESAFILM". Tesafilm is a brand of sticky-tape in Germany; presumably the company that makes the tape commissioned these replicas. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
samadielka New Member United Kingdom 6 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 6:10 pm Thank you for the good explanation, clearly your an expert. But is it worthless? ;/ Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 6:30 pm Not "worthless", just not worth anywhere near as much as a genuine early Roman bronze coin would be. Around here, I typically find replicas similar to this one selling for a couple of dollars. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
