DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 4:18 pm inherited about 1/2 dozen ancients, have been successful in idenityfing half but the 3 are a mystery. I'm at my parents so no access to scope, scale or measurement tools but you can gauge somewhat from my fingers on size. A nudge in the right direction on period or any other pointers you may have would be fantastic. Coin #2 Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 4:27 pm @docc, I am somewhat worried about the light blue spots, especially if they are chalky when you poke at them with the tip of a wooden toothpick. Until you rule out bronze disease (or successfully treat this coin), I would definitely keep it separated from the rest of your collection.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 04:24 am ΣΕΒΑ is almost certainly ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ, the Greek equivalent of "Augustus". Likely a Roman provincial coin of Augustus himseft or another early emperor. The city name would typically be on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
