CPK Posted August 27 · Supporter Share Posted August 27 I missed the question at the bottom. Now I reveal my ignorance! What coin is that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambr0zie Posted August 27 · Member Share Posted August 27 Is it Herennius Etruscus with obv legend IMP C Q HER ETR MES DECIO AVG ? for some reason I struggled way more than I usually do because what I see before "HER" looked like a S and this made no sense. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Kowsky Posted August 27 · Member Share Posted August 27 I see an interesting RR plated denarius serratus in the mix ☺️. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it! Herennius Etruscus' issue as Augustus is easily one of the rarest of all non-usurpers, reigning for only a few weeks to a month before his untimely death in battle with the Goths. As luck would have it, I did finally spring for the coin on the right earlier this year, figuring that I'd probably never get the opportunity to get one for "cheap". And these coins certainly never go cheap! https://www.cngcoins.com/Lot.aspx?LOT_ID=81169 https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=247009 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severus Alexander Posted August 27 · Supporter Share Posted August 27 (edited) Too bad you weren’t the only one to spot it, @Finn235! (Based on the hammer.) Still, you got it for a good price, coingrats! Edited August 27 by Severus Alexander 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted August 27 · Member Share Posted August 27 What are the small coins on the right, the 3 smaller ones, bottom, right row? Is that an upside-down Nero to the left of one of those coins? What's the one to the left of Herennius? Congrats on having two coins of Herennius! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted August 27 · Member Author Share Posted August 27 Three smaller ones are a Miletos diobol, maybe a Parion hemidrachm, and possibly a really beat up Achaemenid siglos. I'm pretty sure it's not a Nero denarius but a really beat up Domitian. The coin to the left of the Etruscus is a fourree Celtic copy of an Alexander drachm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
