josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 4:37 pm Can anyone identify any of these coins? I just purchased these ($12.00) and this is only pictures I have until I receive the coins The second coin is why I bought the lot I believe it is a AS coin but since no weight or size is given I am not sure.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 5:46 pm I believe the As was copper. Perhaps a dupondius or Sestertius (althgouh all coins show up in all manner of metal). Augustus, moneyer's issue. The wreath either contains the name of a colony or the OBS CIVI SERVATOS (owte). 3rd coin in is an anonymous follis which shows Jesus on one side and a shortened version of his name on the other. Echi will probably be able to tell you which period, but its Byzantine. Far right is an evasion halfpenny from England. You'd need a better picture for better info than that.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 6:19 pm Almost certainly a dupondius of Augustus (moneyer's issue as Ben rightly pointed out). Good news is that despite the apparent harsh cleaning it looks like there is 'schmutz' still on it obscuring parts of the legend. I say good news because hopefully it can be 'conserved' a bit and the cleaned ares tarnished up a little. Worth the money spent. The orichalcum dupondius of these types are also harder to find than the copper As. Report this Post to the Staff
josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 7:55 pm Thanks for the info on the coins. The Augustus dupondus seems to be the best coin in the lot will post a better photo and see how it cleans up when I receive it. Report this Post to the Staff
