Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 1:18 pm I have a couple of roman coins in my collection. All low end, common coins (as I am not familiar with them yet and don't want to buy anything expensive on ebay to find out it is fake). But I have gotten interested in ancient coins and I spent all of last night on wildwinds trying to figure out these varieties. Could anyone possibly help me as I have had to luck. I am also having trouble with the mintmarks. Thanks Coin 1: No clue Coin 2: on this site http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/cons...us_II/i.html I have narrowed it down to two options ( I think) : 1. Heraclea RIC VII 78 2. Heraclea RIC VII 84v Option one has SMHA and I think mine is SMH delta, but option two has a dot in the center row. Coin 3: on this site http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/i.html I think it is either: 1. Thessalonica RIC VII 153,G 2.Thessalonica RIC VII 153 Report this Post to the Staff

The first one is a Constantinople Commemorative from the Thessalonica mint, the second is Constantine II (jr) from the Heraclea mint, and the last is Constantine I from the Thessalonica mint.
