I do not know anything about ancients or romans, so I need your help! The COA says it's a Roman bronze from 3rd Century AD. Is it authentic? If so, what is the value on this one? Thanks. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 12:48 pm Without any legend on the Obverse and just the bust to work with I would lean strongly towards Salonina, wife of Gallienus. Yes it is mid 3rd century and is called an Antoninianus. The Reverse says CONCORDIAAUGG. I am pretty confident that it is Salonina but it is always wise to wait for other opinions, there are many members with greater skills than me. Report this Post to the Staff

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 1:38 pm Its value is maybe a $1 or $2 at best. The true value is in the history attached and what you can learn from it, plus you can tell folks you own a coin that is 1750 years old Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 7:20 pm I agree with tenbobbit... I'm pretty sure I can see something between and above Gallienus and Salonina on the reverse but not sure if its a wreath or star, either way its probably a RIC #63 like this example from wildwinds... Salonina joint reign with Gallienus, 255-258 AD. Samosata. AE Antoninianus. CORN SALONINA AVG, Diademed, draped bust right, on crescent / CONCORDIA AVGG (R and D retrograde), Gallienus standing right clasping hands with Salonina standing left, wreath above. RIC V-1, 63; Göbl 1706. Report this Post to the Staff
