Think the above may be wrong.

1st is Julia Maesa - Examples and values:

2nd is Julia Domna - Examples and values:
http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ca...ar=431&pos=0

Your Julia Domna is a very nice coin!

When looking at the prices on forumancientcoins.com its probably safe to assume you would only get about 50% if you were to sell the coins yourself somewhere like ebay or to a trader.

forumancientcoins.com are well respected and offer life-time returns etc so people are prepared to pay more for their items. They also have overheads to cover.

I think 3 is Severus Alexander - IMP SEV ALE-XAND AVG

Prices and examples here:

4 is IMP ANTONINVS AVG so is Antoninus Pius, Caracalla or Elagabalus - I'd guess at Elagabalus but certainly not certain.

You need to spend some time looking at examples of these Emperors coins so you can decide for yourself - again I'd recommend forumancientcoins.com for this and for identifying prices for this and your Vespasian coins.

Hi, 5 & 6 look like Vespasian Denarii.

The Domna gives me some cause for concern. The reverse die seems to be a die match to this known, published fake. It is a modern fake created from modern dies created by the Bulgarian engraver "Lipanoff". There are several indications of die match the E of FORTVNAE, the chair detail, the drapery on Fortuna etc.

I am willing to be disproved but I cannot see that it is created from different dies at the moment.

Thats a bit of a worry - it certainly looks to be a match with the fake maridvnvm has posted.

If the rest of the coins were from the same source it will also cast serious doubt on those.

maridvnvm - where did you get the picture of the fake? Do you use a specific website or database?
