flag4 Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 7:31 pm Last December I acquired some extremely crusty globs of sandy dirt from an online auction, very cheap. Supposed Roman coins. This is after soaking in olive oil for several months, and more recently with added lemon juice. Four of the coins have some features. I was hoping the learned people here may see something recognizable to help ID what they are . . Coin 1 Coin2 Coin 3 Coin 4 Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 11:24 pm The first couple are Constantine family coins. Yeah all late Romans no question about it. You want to have some fun and figure these out quickly? Go to this ebay listing. Open the main photo so it is big on the screen. Right click it and save it to your hard drive and you have a very high resolution image. Then open the image and blow it up then just match the profile. And that is a famous poster sold by a lot of people. I just found one where the guy uploaded a high resolution image. http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Roman-E...261474523781 Report this Post to the Staff
