momtimesfive New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/15/2016 09:03 am My husband was given these coins a few years ago and we can not seem to find anything that gives us what they might be. All we can tell is that they are pretty old and might be Greek or Roman. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't collect those so I will defer to Echizento who does. The rest we will need better pictures. If you can, post one coin at a time, photographed straight on in good lighting. Direct sunlight is good enough if you don't have a good lamp setup. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 11/15/2016 2:28 pm Best I could figure out from Wildwinds, the lower left coin is probably SB 873, Carthage mint half follis, Heraclius, 610-641 AD (perhaps 612 or 627 AD). The other coins definitely need better photos (that one would also benefit from better photos). Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/15/2016 3:33 pm Top right is an Antoninianus from Crisis-era Rome (250-285). Looks to be large, very round and low purity, so I'm guessing Aurelian or Probus? Report this Post to the Staff
