jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 5:43 pm This first one has attribution, is it accurate? Seems to be rather high grade, Salominia Aug. Is value of $145 even close? Weight of 3 Grams and oblong with a diameter between 20 and 23 mm. This second one isn't as nice, but appears to also be a female emperor and there is no other information. Weight of 2.2 Grams and is oblong and between 19 and 23 mm. Report this Post to the Staff

All other coins in the collection were genuine, except the clearly marked fakes. This collector tended to put the uncirculated price on the attribution, no matter the actual condition, so the listed value is suspect. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 7:53 pm I believe the second one is also Salonia. They are both very common antoninianus which when new had a silver was on them. They have both been over cleaned which resulted in the patina being removed. The first is in better condition than the second one I'd grade that one at fine, and the second coin at good. Value for both coins $10-$15. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 8:17 pm Yes, the second one is also Salonina with obverse legend of CORNELIA SALONINA AVG. The reverse might be Pietas sacrificing, but that's just a guess. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 07:45 am Thank you for the responses. Both of them have the original silver wash color, but I am not good at matching the picture white to the true white background, but the silver color is close to echizento's avatar. I should go to the picture education section to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
