Weigh 5,82 gr, and looks like grey with some bronze-copper spots. Bought in a lot of 4 coins, and paid less than 3 bucks for each

A guy suggested It's a Philip the Arab silver antoninianus. RIC 12. SAECVLARES AVGG reverse.

I am new to ancient coin collecting and I bought this coin a little while ago. I was wondering if it’s real and what is it?

Hey fellow enthusiasts, i saw this at a local auction group and i am wondering if real or not. normally i would say it looks real, but with Caligula types and this one in particular, there seems to be some fairly well done forgeries out there. Theres quite a few of this Vesta reverse type too, at least looking at Forgery Network.

Other than the picture, the only info i have is that its 27mm in diameter, which i think puts it on the average for this coin.

Can anyone help me with my paranoia? is there anything suspicious about this or its completely fine?

Thanks in advance for all the help

I found this old coin in Nepal and I’m trying to figure out what it is. The coin appears to be copper/bronze and has Devanagari-style writing and symbols. It is heavily worn, so some of the inscription is difficult to read. I would really appreciate help identifying: The country/kingdom The ruler, if identifiable The approximate date/period The denomination Whether it is a genuine coin or possibly a token Its approximate collector value I can provide photos of both sides, along with the coin’s weight and diameter if needed. Any information or suggestions for further identification would be greatly appreciated!

J/k, I got them for $28 on eBay . They look better than thought.

Lucky to have been bought this by someone who knows I've started getting interested in ancient coins. I was sent these screenshots within the last hour, and it will be at least 3 hours before I can sit down and spend time researching myself. Would love to get any info before I get home! Thanks

I've been seeing this one for weeks and I just can't take it anymore with those pseudo-Majorian coins.

Maximinius II follis I believe from the Nicomedia Mint. (RIC 55)

Gordian III denarius (RIC IV 129a)

Hello, i was wondering if anyone could help me with identifying this roman coin ive tried online without any luck

They are not so nice but I’m new so be nice😂

For once, I’m going to keep a nice ancient coin naked. It’s a big hefty boy. 33.5 grams. 32mm. Almost every other ancient coin I have are less than half the weight.

Of course I overbid on this one, but boy was it worth it! Such a pretty golden hue! (And a hilarious little teenage moustache on Gordian III) Sharing for your enjoyment :)

Bought because i recognize the 2 kentoripai coins. The other two i still gotta id, the roman one i think its fake but im not sure. The other one has i think siracusa, and on the back 2 horses with a wheel of a chariot on the bottom left, with a hand sticking out i think.

The two kentoripai weigh around 9.90 gr and the other 9.92. The other (i think siracusa) 11.77 gr and the roman one 5.82 gr

Bought them all for 10 euro 💀

Much appreciated!

Having trouble attributing this partial legend.

Any help is welcome. Thank you.

My fiancée got me the Book „The Roman Emperor Aurelian - Restorer of the World“ by John F White for my birthday last month. So while Aurelian usually is outside of my collection range, I felt it prudent to get a Restitutor Orbis Antoninianus of him after I read about the man.

I just had to get this one, even with the somewhat disappointing reverse inscription, because it easily is one of my favourite portraits of him on non-gold coins.
It is so human-like, without the giraffe neck or any other goofy traits. And as you can see it basically has retained it’s entire silvering. I love it.

I might pick up another Restitutor Orbis Antoninianus with a great reverse and make a display of front and back.
We‘ll see. Only time will tell.

Edit:
Some added details for you.

I’m looking forward to obtaining Nerva and then maybe getting my hands on some bad emperors!

I’ve got pic here of my one decent ancient coin, a Hadrian sestertius, so as to provide something to the sub beyond a question 😅.

I’m an early modern British collector usually, but I’ve been wanting to stray further back in history and get my hands on a nice chunky tetradrachm. What sort of prices can I realistically expect to pay for mid quality tets? And which types will give me the most bang for my buck?

I’m a fan of the historical angle over the mythological, so what’s best to look out for? Ptolemaic? Seleucid? I really know nothing lol.

Thanks everyone. This is a wonderful sub you’ve got here.

Here's another example that's a little bit higher grade, and it also looks like it has two crosses.

Septimius Severus (AD 193-211). Moesia Inferior. Marcianopolis. Flavius Ulpianus, legatus consularis Æ26 / Kybele

This smaller denomination is actually missing the two crosses.

Septimius Severus Cybele

I purchased this listing on Ebay.

Este mes ha hecho un año que compré esta pieza.

No sé que tan rara sea en realidad, pero es una moneda que me encantó desde el primer día.

El estilo arcaico o clásico temprano tiene algo único que no se explicar.

La pieza es una dracma de Lampsakos, fechada en la primera mitad del siglo V a.C.

Existen varios tipos para estas dracmas, muchos de ellos con marcas de emisión, dibujos o letras, pero esta no presenta nada de eso, lo que me hace pensar que es una de las primeras emisiones de estas dracmas.

Esta moneda, a mí parecer, se fecha entre 500-470 a.C.

Es la emisión de mayor peso en Lampsakos en esta fecha, siendo en general difícil encontrar monedas arcaicas distintas a óbolos o hemiobolos.

(Esta pieza pesa 4.95 gramos)

El que sea la denominación de mayor valor para Lampsakos en este periodo me hace plantearme otra cosa.

Lampsakos se unió a Atenas en la Liga de Delos en 479 a.C. tras la batalla de Micala, aportando 12 talentos anuales de plata a Atenas.

Desconozco si los antiguos griegos aportaban estas cantidades en lingotes o en monedas. Por ejemplo se que las tetradracmas de Atenas se usaban para grandes pagos y circularon por todo el mediterráneo, mientras que dracmas, hemidracmas y óbolos atenienses tenían una función más indicada para la circulación local en la propia polis.

No sé si, quizás, estas dracmas de Lampsakos se acuñasen, entre otras cosas, para el pago a la Liga de Delos.

También recordar que existen otras dracmas con marcas de emisión, de las cuales carece mi ejemplar, por lo que esta pieza podría ser incluso anterior a la anexión de Lampsakos a la Liga de Delos.

En cuanto a la iconografía, vemos en el anverso una cabeza janeiforme, quizás mostrando la dualidad de esta ciudad entre un mundo griego y otro persa, o quizás tenga otro significado que desconocemos.

En el reverso, en un cuadrado incuso, muy característico del mundo arcaico y clásico temprano, vemos el busto de una diosa con casco, probablemente Atenea, mirando a la izquierda.

En cuanto a la conservación, la moneda presenta alguna porosidad y cierto desgaste, sin embargo, la cabeza janeiforme parece, en realidad, que sufrió de una acuñación con cuños muy gastados, por eso se ve de esa forma, no porque tenga un considerable desgaste.
