Altrazable New Member Turkey 3 Posts	Posted 08/20/2011 11:11 pm I know nothing about this coin,except it is (maybe) taken from Anatolia.I searched but couldn't find any information about it. Please somebody tell me the year it was made, which country and what is the name of the emperor on the back side of the coin.And what does it worth? I hope these photos can help.

On the obverse the legend shoould read AVGVSTVS, and the reverse is CA ( Caesar Augustus). in a wreath. RIC 1 #501. The coin appears to be genuine, but it has also been widely copied.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 12:16 am I see noting about this coin that suggests it may be a fake. It looks genuine and in fine condition to me. echizento has attributed it properly (he always does). Nice coin. I would gladly place it in my collection. Regards JW Report this Post to the Staff

And do you have any idea if it is not fake what would it worth? ? and jwharper I couldn't understand your sentence about the portrait(my English is not good) Edited by Altrazable 08/21/2011 10:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 12:28 pm The portrait is very nice. The worth of a coin is subjective and its hard to tell the worth without having it in hand. Examples in excellent condition have sold for as high as $500 US. Take a look at this page: http://www.acsearch.info/search.htm...=&c=&a=&l=#3 I hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 1:19 pm You are more than welcome. Many of us enjoy the attribution process almost as much as owning the coin. ALMOST!!. Really though, any coin you have that you may have questions about, please ask. Regards, JW Report this Post to the Staff
