A friend of mine is selling his collection and told me I can put any offer I want on the table the thing is..I don't want to offer a price that is either too low or too high so I would highly appreciate your opinion regarding the identity, value and authenticity! Thanks! Definitely Roman..but what is it? Roman SC coin, Claudian? Looks like a severus but can't pinpoint the exact identification! And the mystery coin!

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 10:43 am 4th is indeed Indian, from ca 100-400 AD. I haven't really taken the time to learn how to ID these, but this should help: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...6_KNIS-_av4g I believe the dudes with the mustaches are generally earlier.

PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 05:04 am Thank you all for your replies ! much appreciated! So there's no reason to think they are not genuine? Any ideas on their worth? And regarding the indian coin, mine seems to have a bit of brown patina/rust.. does that mean its a fouree or fake? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 1:21 pm I haven't seen any of these as fouree, so I think the spot is just a bit of dirt. Report this Post to the Staff
