pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 09:48 am Would you please help me to identify these two coins? The first one maybe is from Faustina ? and the second seems to be from Septimius Severus but I don´t remember the reverse, and I´m not able to set a correct date and catalog information.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 10:34 am Correct; Faustina I posthumous and Septimius Severus. Severus is RIC 516 (I think; legend isn't too clear) http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...verus/i.html Faustina is some variant of http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...tml#RIC_0361 Can you get photos at a different angle? I don't think they are fake, but both look polished in your photos. Report this Post to the Staff
pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 10:50 am Thanks Finn235. Unfortunately these are auction coins so I´m not able to take better photos. I thought Severus coin was a fake, because there´s no inscription in front of his face. Tried Wildwinds but all coins there have an inscription. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 1:38 pm From the pictures these coins look harshly cleaned and polishes, IMO this reduces there value, you should take that into consideration when biding on them. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 1:51 pm The Severus was just struck a little off-center; that's not a cause for concern, but it is one factor that will reduce the price somewhat. What's the bid/asking price for these? I wouldn't go much above $15; improper cleaning is a big pet peeve of ancients collectors, and you won't get much back when it's time to upgrade and sell.

pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 1:56 pm The initial bid asking for these coins is US$ 50. No way, I´m out of it. Report this Post to the Staff
