the first coin appears to be Roman and I think Constantine I. I received these from an estate sale and do not know too much. the first coin is very faint and might not even be worth identifying. the second coin is suppose to be copper. Im confused. Thanks for any help.
that gold colored 1 is Hawaii. obvious from the reverse sweet coin there. gone to check my Krause catalog on that 1. not sure about the others.
found it. wow that looks uncirculated value between $1000.00- $6,000. there are 6 different varieties for this coin. not sure which variety it is ??? minimum value $1,000.00. incredible coin there. how did you get it ???
when i went to look it up it was not in the H's lol it was in the United States section of my Krause catalog.
I purchased a large foreign coin collection and 1200 wheat pennies for $200. Man i sure hope this is real.
The first coin appears to be Constantine I: Trier RIC VI 873 Constantine I, AE Follis. CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, laureate, cuirassed bust right / SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI, Sol radiate, standing facing, head left, chlamys draped over left shoulder, holding globe and raising right hand, T-F across fields, PTR in ex.
ok Thanks Bing...i copied that text if you dont mind...ill use it in my database...any idea of value?
found it. 13 berries total... 6 left, 7 right. Hawaii KM#1a Cent Copper 1874 plain 4, mintage 100,000., values: XF-$550.00 Unc.-$1,000.00 put that coin in an airtite to protect it from getting scatched, wow awesome coin. hope it's authentic :thumb: send it in to be graded by NGC or PCGS.
uh oh :scratch: bad news. upon closer look to the reverse wreath side of your Hawaii coin I see the words "souvenir XXXX? of Hawaii" on the bottom edge of the wreath. might be a replica. sorry to rain on your parade. best to get it check out anyways to be sure.
There are Hawaii Souvenir Copies of Hapa Haneri... There appears to be very small writing under either side of the bottom of the wreath, looks like it says I think 'Souvenir (can't make it out) ....Hawaii.
Ahh man you guys are right...it is very fine print...oh well...ill hit powerball later this week so ill buy a real one haha...thanks for the input.
Before you get too weird with that Hawaiian cent, take a glass to the back and read the inscription "Souvenir of Hawaii" or something to that effect. Only worth a couple of bucks to someone who wants it.
