Can anyone give some more info on the mintmark/emporer/type/value? The pictures don't do it justice, the coin is really attractive high grade, much sharper than it appears. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff

bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 12:44 pm Great coins! As for IDing them, and this one in particular...I really LOVE this site: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/index.html This looks (to my very amateur eye) to be a Roman Imperial Coin of Maxentius: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...ntius/i.html Without knowing the diameter, etc. I don't know exactly, and the mintmark is cut off of the bottom of the reverse, but it looks like the last letter is a "Q", so I'll guess that it might be this: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/..._RIC_210.jpg Hope that helps! Really cool looking coins! I'll let you look up the other 2...that's part of the fun for me unless I really get stuck Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 1:21 pm Thanks very much guys. bwbollom, I had the mintmark down as ABQ but couldn't seem to find it - the link you provided seems to match great so thanks very much! Fortunately I just cracked the Gordain sestertius (I think) as RIC 319a. Still pretty stuck on the provincal one though! www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 1:46 pm Jeff: Excellent! I thought the mintmark looked like ABQ but couldn't tell for sure on the first 2 letters. I'm really starting to love picking these up and trying to figure out what they are. I wish there was a local dealer that had some, but the only ones that do only seem to carry more expensive examples that I can't afford. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 3:19 pm We're lucky over here as metal detecting is so widespread there's quite a lot on the market. I usually can't afford the decent ancients from coin dealers or auction houses, but when they turn up at markets/ with general antique dealers you can get some great finds www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
