Ricardo Hinds New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 7:47 pm I have been working on doing a valuation for an ancient coin collection and am in sore need of assistance. I have been able to identify the majority of this collection, however I sometimes fail in my searches. I know with coins like this in particular the writing is everything and can change the value of the coin. I actually have about 13 or 14 more coins that I need help IDing other than this coin so if you're an avid coin expert and love to help people out please stick around! I'll be posting a new coin every couple hours so that I can get feedback about each coin. As a new member you are not allowed to use links yet.

Ricardo Hinds New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 7:55 pm If possible could you include an expected value for each coin (Low, average, and high)? Also any background on each coin will be much appreciated, I love this stuff! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 8:11 pm @Ricardo, first welcome to CCF. Second, best practice is to post your coins in separate threads, with pics of both sides plus whatever other info you have. The diameter and mass are helpful too. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your coins.

Ricardo Hinds New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 11:23 am Also I have a couple questionable coins that just look off to me. I believe these are part of Jewish Revolt Against Rome, 66 - 70 AD. "Masada" Coins, however there are three variations of the coin that are throwing me for a loop. The first two on the left look like they could be real? However the two on the right look too defined to be from this time period (these are some of the more faded coins, I've put the rest in card holders) Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 12:54 pm @Ricardo, as I mentioned before, best practice is to post your coins in separate threads, with pics of both sides plus whatever other info you have. The diameter and mass are helpful too. It is quite difficult to get much detail from these group photos. I think that you will find more helpful responses from folks here if you follow these simple steps.
