G'day all!

I've been more and more interested in ancient coins, ánd have now decided to take a swim in this unknown ocean.

I have come across three coins that I'm interested in, but since I'm all new in this area I have no idea if they are real or not and what it's worth. All help is highly appreciated!

Coin 1:

3-Ancient-Roman-Coins?


Coin 2:

3-Ancient-Roman-Coins?


Coin 3:

3-Ancient-Roman-Coins?

Cheers!

Welcome to the world of the ancients! Fascinating stuff. They are all 100% authentic. I may be picky, but the only one I would jump on is the second coin. It looks to be Constantine I on the front. The reason I would like it is because the mintmark appears to be ALEA, which is Alexandria (Egypt). They tend to be more difficult to come by.

Wow, cheers mate!
I always gets a little scare when it comes to ancient coins, because I feel so insecure if the coins are real or not - that's why I usually avoid them.

The auction will end tomorrow and so far the second coin as now reached 5 SEK (~0.83 USD). The seller has no idea what kind of coins he's selling, so there aren't any information at all about the coin (except for "Ancient coin (Rome...", that's why I felt I had to ask before I start bidding.

But then I'll concentrate mostly on the second coin and keeps my fingers crossed that on Tuesday morning I will own my very first Ancient coin!

Thanks again!

This morning I got an e-mail that said that I had won the auction for all three coins!

In total I paid 7.63 USD for all coins including shipping & handling. I hope I didn't overpaid them!
