Roman bronzes, looks like first one is of lucius verus. Other looks like a AS or Sestertius of Julia Mamaea. Both in wretched condition and worth barely few dollars.

 

Thank you for very fast replies. I don't want sell them just want to know what year this is made.

 

I cudn't belive someone will recognize this 2 coin. I have one more with more wretched conditions almost not recognized. Other side was just letter CS

Mat I am interested what year this money is circulation between people? In wikipedia is "Sestertius was introduced c. 211 BC" But when this money stop worth anything. I'm total beginner at this

 

I believe Mat is right about the first coin. It is probably Lucius Verus with a reverse of Marcus Aurelius and Verus standing vis à vis clasping hands. This type of coin would have been in circulation 161-169 AD. Do you have the means to weigh and measure the coins. That would help in identifying more.

 

Mat may be right about the second coin, but it could also be Otacilia Severa. The last coin is unrecognizable.

BTW, welcome Bojan

 

Hi Bojan. I'm not an expert but I'm not a beginner either.. I might have a different point of view. Lucius Verus and Otacilla Severa are considered more scarce than Maximinus II and even Helena. As for Julia Mamaea, she's considered more scarce than Emperor Nerva. That's according to the acknowledged List of ERIC. Then, both coins are identifiable. They date back to the Roman Empire ( 2000 years old ) which began in 29 BC and fell in nearly 475 AD. I would say It's a lucky start for a beginner.
Good Luck Bojan.. Keep up the hunt...

Second one is Mamaea, easily. I know her portrait too well.

 

hi Bojan,

welcome here, are those metal detector finds?
i am also MD hobbiest.

 

Definitely Mamaea on the second one
Most probably Lucius Verus on the first

Thank for all reply. I have MD only 2 week. Found something like this is for me priceless. So you can understand why I have so many question about wrecked coin

First coin is 3g second is 17g.

I found one could be the same minea

It's say
5.26 grams; 22.99 mm. RIC 709 var (listed only as sestertius and dupondius)
Problem is my is 17g?

 

Poor condition or not, I'd be thrilled to find any of those coins! Congratulations-- it sound like you're going to have a great time with your new toy.

 

17 grams a Mamaea can very well be a sestertius. Mine is 17,85, and I have a Severus Alexander under 15 grams.
I don't know what the 5,26 grams refers to

Q

 

i'm really jealous of you guys and girls that go out and find this stuff.
