Ok, I need some help. I just received my dad's coin collection and I have these 6 coins I have no idea what they are. They are very heavily worn and hard to make out. I have uploaded them on my personal website and want to see if anyone can tell me what they are. I really think they are ancient and at least non-us. Here is the link to all 6 coins. http://sellmycoin.com/CoinList.php?p=50 Thanks everyone in advance for helping me out. Also, if anyone has a better picture of what these coins are suppose to look like…lol, please share. V/r, Erich
Sorry but in order to see the coins in other than thumbnail form the site requires that i sign up. If you can find osmewhere to link to that doesn't require sign up or just post them directly here I would be happy to look at them for you Richard
Yes, please post the pics here or use something like photobucket and post them that way. From the thumbnails the first appears to be a coin of Hadrian, the third some kind of greek ancient, but it's hard to tell without larger pics. We'll also need to see the reverses to give you more info.
hontonai, thanks again for stating what a few people have already said...good job. This is why I am uploading the pictures in here. Thanks for your support.
Krauz...I assume that is a small silver coin? Looks like Denarius of Trajan with Felicitas holding cornucopia on the reverse. Hard to say exactly without being able to read any inscriptions but the portrait is Trajan without doubt. I wouldnt comment on autheticity.
24 post and your getting sarcastic with a regular and known member of the boards....nice going buddy stainless
All, my response to hontonai was mild compared to him being rude out of nowhere. And as far as my 24 post, you have to start somewhere like everyone has here. I really appreciate everyone’s feedback.
I think one lesson we can learn here is if you have nothing to offer to the thread, dont post...post the rest of the coins when you can krauz and dont let it get to ya
Hey Drusus, What do you think something like this is worth? I just want to know if it's something I should go get looked at. I am uploading my other ones now. Thanks again, Erich
I got something like that in a crackerjack box once.... J/K. I don't know that they are, and they do look quite old...
I believe the lot is fake...You have a Gordian III which looks cast, A Nero which also looks cast...the Trajan looked off to me, now I think it is also fake. I could be wrong.
LOL...I asked my dad where he got them and he forgot. He forgot that he even had them in the collection. So it might have been a crackerjack box..lol
ok, if these coins were not fake, what would you guess the value would be? How can I tell if they are fake or real?
