Ricardo Hinds New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 3:26 pm Hi Ancient Coin Collectors, I'm doing research in order to do a valuation of an ancient coin collection. For the most part IDing the coins are easy, but I recently found this coin here and I cant seem to find it Online. Here's what I can see: [li]It Looks like an Emperor's face without a crown facing right; there looks to be a :Greek_Lambda: on his left side [/li] [li]One the other side it looks like there are two men; one man is riding a horse on the left and is spearing the second man in the lower abdomen[/li] Any help in IDing this coin and getting a low, average, and high valuation for it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! P.S. I Included files with picture of the coins! https://gyazo.com/16bcf7ffe1e86a3581a3a4e2ea507227 https://gyazo.com/de5a7eb65c4b2e3bfdb264e18b693139 https://gyazo.com/d1fc87d20fcf2124498f75c6a484cd57 * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 03/03/2017 12:19 am Your coin is a maiorina of Magnentius with the GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse type. The figure of the horseman carries no shield and is not nimbate. The victim kneels on one knee, and there is a broken spear and shield beneath horse. This type was not used at Ambianum. The mint mark is only partially on the flan, but appears to end in ..VS<dot> or ..VG<dot>. I find no attested mint mark with these or an LVG. combination. I am not convinced I am reconstructing the mark very well. Here is the best blowup I can give for the present resolution of the original: The obverse has an A in the left field behind the head.
