Got three coins in the post today, all three seem to be Tiberius, would value your confirmation?

Coin No 3 reverse I took at a slight angle to show what I think is a winged Caduceus.

A touch of BD will need sorting before I close down for Christmas!

The first I would say is Tiberius, the others I can't be sure.

The second bears a resemblance to Caligula. I think it is Germanicus issued by Caligula. The other two ? First one is a definite and the third is almost certainly !

I agree about the first one. Couldn't add much about info about the other two.

And despite the surface pitting, that first coin is quite handsome.

Thanks guys. Yes, I like the first one despite the pits. Germanicus is good!

I am also thinking that numero uno has scaring due to an attack of the dread BD ! Keep an eye on it.

Number two I am basing my 'hunch' on the eyes nose and lips especially. Very much resembles Caligula ! If we had some legend it would go a long way. I am almost tempted to see a match for my Caligula 'mule' with the Germanicus reverse.

Without some lettering to guide the attribution it will probably be necessary to call it a Germanicus.


A rather handsome looking Germanicus I picked up this past year. Family resemblance is more pronounced on some examples than others. The nose on yours is much more like Caligula.
