dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 08:34 am I have bought a coin lot at an auction recently, mostly for the English coins - Among the coins was a number of ancient coins. Would be grateful for assistance in identification if possible as I want to put them on ebay to help fund the next buy :) (if they are worth anything) These are the last 9 coins that came out of the lot 1) Weight: 1.2g Diameter: 10mm - Looks and feels like silver - Very small coin or part of coin * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * 2) Weight: 2g Diameter: 17mm 3) Weight: 6g Diameter: 23mm Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 09:50 am First is a silver hemidrachm from Thrace, Byzantian, 357-340 B.C. Bull/Trident type. The second is Roman, and appears to be a "city commemorative" issue, 330 - 346 AD, with a "VRBS ROMA" obverse and she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus reverse. The third is an issue of Maximus, 236 - 238 AD, similar to this (see link), but at 23mm yours may not be a sestertius (yours may be a different denomination): http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=243567 Edited by Kamnaskires 09/03/2015 1:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
