Whilst we are waiting for the experts, could you give us the weight of each coin and the size in mm. Also, where did you get the coins, was it ebay or a coin dealer? Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 02:45 am The second coin is a bit beaten up, but I think it is supposed to be Maurice Tiberius, 582-602 AD, AV tremessis. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 03:11 am A search of acsearch shows that the second coin has sold from $180 to $430, but all the coins were in much better condition. There are aspects of the coin that I do not like, so we will see what the others say regarding its authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff

Mikish Valued Member Canada 160 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 10:19 am The first coin has a diameter of 22mm, and the second one is 18mm. I bought these from a nice old guy selling his coins at a fair. I have to find the weight later. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 1:33 pm to the community I can't comment on the first coin, but the second coin is either Tiberius II Constantine or Maurice Tiberius. Without a clear legend it's difficult to say for sure. I've checked Ancient fake coin reports and didn't find any match, so it's probably OK. Report this Post to the Staff
