pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:15 pm Hi All, I recently acquired a rather large estate collection of ancient coins, mostly Roman. I'm getting started on the silver coins and have identified most of them, but these are the outliers. The gentleman cleaned his own ancients with chemicals, so some of them have a bit of a scratchy look, however I would believe it if some of them turned out to be contemporary counterfeits or more modern forgeries. I would love any assistance with identification and/or valuation. Thanks! 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.) 9.) 10.) 11.) 12.) Edited by pattiewhack 09/26/2021 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:51 pm Only one Republican coin in this bunch. To get it started, for number one: C. Memmius, Roman Republic denarius. Might be a fouree, but I'm not sure. Edited by Kamnaskires 09/26/2021 7:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:58 pm #2 is from Chersonesos, Thrace, 4th century BC. Forepart of lion for the obverse - you'd have to rotate your obverse pic (the lower pic) 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:12 pm Perhaps Perdikkas II (Macedon) for the helmet/galloping horse combo. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:14 pm Himyarite or Sabaean for the one with the bucranium reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:16 pm Philip II (Macedon) for the Apollo/horse with rider coin. Amphipolis mint, I believe. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:19 pm Maybe Knidos, Caria for the next one with the lion reverse. The obverse - Aphrodite? - seems off to me, so maybe the ID is wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:21 pm Maybe Amisos, Pontos for the next. Hera left obverse, with the eagle reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 01:54 am Very interesting group of coin, but please in the future only post one or two coins pre thread. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 8:37 pm As Bob L correctly indicated, number 12 is Indo-Scythian. Specifically, it's a silver teteradrachm of Azes II, like the second coin down on this page. http://coinindia.com/galleries-azes2.html For future ID requests providing a weight to the nearest tenth of a gram and a maximum diameter to the nearest millimeter will aid ID and provide some evidence regarding authenticity or not.
