    doesnt look corroded . it is fairly shiny like gold

    recently acquired this one. i know little to nothing about this type. 23.7 x 24.6 mm 7.0 grams made of electrum?
  3. CaptCaveman45
    in really bad shape. but might have a few features left for partial identification. 26.5 mm 5.4 grams

    i have picked up a few from dirtyoldcoins that were very easy to ID. got a couple from vcoins that were good also. i do like to hit ebay up for the really cheap lots , but those are the hit and miss lottery style, a few have turned out identifiable and ok. i did pick up a handfull from a local pawn shop that deals in mainly US silver. luckily i havent gotten ahold of one that has had bronze disease yet.

    there are collectors out there that collect nothing but die breaks, cuds, errors, misprints, damaged, etc. to them, every coin is unique. me, i like the worn coins because it shows they were well used and after 1500+ years they have survived and that shows a lot of history.

    i just started collecting roman and greek bronzes. i pick these up whenever and wherever i can on the cheap. to me on these badly worn down ones, it is the thrill of the hunt to try to identify them or at least a general id. i prefer the greek bronzes especially macedonians. but i grab these LRB's up also.

    was given a different opinion on another forum and this is what the reference was pointing to. maybe it is valens instead of constantinius?
  8. CaptCaveman45
    i believe this might be another constantanius. can see the obverse image, but not able to make out any other details
  9. CaptCaveman45
    it is 14.5 mm and weighs 2.0 grams
  10. CaptCaveman45
    i believe the obverse is constantine or constantinius. looks like soldier? on reverse, other than that it is fairly worn down. just looking for possible identification
  11. CaptCaveman45
    maybe not variations, but subtypes of the same?
  12. CaptCaveman45
    could it possibly be this one? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces191187.html or https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces76033.html
  13. CaptCaveman45
    is there enough features left for any identification ? or is it too far gone?
  14. CaptCaveman45
    ok. found 2 different variations. both are RIC VII 99 Siscia. my coin has the obverse image and total reverse of the top coin, but the obverse legend of the bottom coin. my question now is, "Is there other variations of the same coin?"
  15. CaptCaveman45
    i am new at collecting roman and greek coins, i know very little about this era of coins. so i am just trying to put a portfolio/reference page together with the coin i am collecting for my granddaughter. and trying to catalog and reference all the coins into a portfolio so that when she gets old enough, she will know exactly what everything is.
  16. CaptCaveman45
    i think i found a coin very similar to mine, but where do i find out the information on it?
  17. CaptCaveman45
    the obverse legend I can make out "CONSTANTI" and it does look like it ends with a "C" on the reverse it looks like "IIS*S" where yours says "rSIS"
  18. CaptCaveman45
    have this one almost figured out. Constantine I OBV: helmeted? bust right LEGEND: Constantinvs AVG REV: two victories with shield on altar LEGEND: vict laetae princ perp past this i am stumped. any help to ID the rest or correct my errors would be appreciated
  19. CaptCaveman45
    diameter 26 mm x 23.4 mm weight 6.4 grams top photo is reverse
  20. CaptCaveman45
    yes it is fairly worn down and not much detail left. but hopefully someone might have some idea of what it is.
  21. CaptCaveman45
    i know it is fairly worn down, but might have enough features to be identified , at least partially. i believe it might be Hadrian AD 117-138. any help to identify or at least point me in a direction to try and identify this coin would be greatly appreciated.
  22. CaptCaveman45
    can i post up coins for identification.? most would be worn bad, but someone might be able to help . just want to make sure before i do this
