Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 05/13/2018 4:55 pm One on the left is Faustina senior wife of Antoninus Pius...Maybe something like this..again courtesy of wildwinds.. Faustina Sr AE Sestertius. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / AETERNITAS S-C, Aeternitas seated left holding phoenix & scepter. Cohen 15. You have the coins in hand so maybe you can see more detail but this will hopefully point you in the right direction. Paul Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 3:18 pm CalmBud Faustina I is Faustina II's mom. Most of the coinage I've seen commemorates her deification (DIVA). Not sure whether you have a sestertius or an as (my guess is the former). Better pics size and weights would help. Like mom Faustina II was also deified. I can't see details on her coin so can't help. Use Wildwinds for ID. Faustina I's page: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...ina_I/i.html Faustina II's page: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...na_II/i.html I paid $75 for my Faustina I sestertius. After you ID both coins, then visit Vcoins.com to see what the coins are selling for retail. Or you can get fancy and check sales on coinarchives.com or ebay.
