The Shua New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 01:30 am Hi. I have 3 Ancient Roman coins that I was wondering if anyone could identify for me. I posted these a while ago but wasn't able to have clear enough photos but I was told that the first and third ones are provincal, and that the second one is an ancient counterfit. Could anyone tell what these are and if possible how much they are worth? Coin 1: Coin 2: Coin 3: Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 05:59 am Coin 1 looks like it is an ancient counterfeit of a Severus Alexander denarius with obverse legend IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG and reverse legend LIBERALITAS AVG II, which is from a reverse of Elagablus Coin 2 appears to be an ancient counterfeit, looks fouree (plated) to me, of a denarius of Domitian with a Minerva reverse. Coin 3. Another ancient imitation. Copying a denarius of Caracalla. The reverse looks like a reverse of his father, Septimius Severus - P M TR P XVIII COS III P P, Neptune standing left, holding trident dolphin, foot on globe It is not unusual to have types that do not match correctly or even make sense with these ancient counterfeits.

Ancient counterfeits were made at the time the originals circulated. A lot of collectors collect these ancient forgeries, and the coins do have some value. I don't collect them myself so I don't know their value. Report this Post to the Staff
