That's very cool ... what are the two coins?

=> Do you have a typical image of the host-coin (the original coin before it was counter-stamped?)

 

Heraclius year ten Constantinople over Probus year four Cyzicus???

 

oh wow, that's a cool overstrike paschka! i couldn't figure it out at first at all, but there is lots of detail there.

i think it's a heaclius over a phocas..phocas has that (PER) in his legends sometimes.

Ladies and gentlemen! As true connoisseurs of coins with joy the night to show you another of the Byzantine coin. It is not rare, but it carries the spirit characteristic the Byzantine era. Look what she has cut edges. For this it is what I like.This coin is no longer even resembles an archaeological site….

 

This provincial Augustus also bought me this year for a nominal sum.

 

Another coin that I bought in 2015, note, there remains of silver plated, probably ancient and its meaning, I do not know.

 

The last one is from Kyme?

 

Yes, Kyme,

Kyme, Aiolis, 350 - 250 B.C.
27235. Bronze AE 18, cf. SNG Cop 46 - 68 (various magistrates), SGCV II 4187, aVF, Kyme mint, 2.048g, 14.6mm, 0°, 3rd Century B.C.; obverse eagle standing right, magistrate's name above; reverse one-handled vase, K-Y across field;

Kyme, Aiolis, 3rd Century B.C.
81397. Bronze AE 18, SGCV II 4187, BMC 29, VF, Kyme mint, 3.754g, 18.3mm, 135°, 3rd Century B.C.; obverse AΡIΣTANΔΡOC, eagle standing right; reverse one-handled vase, K-Y across field;

 

Those bronze coins of Kyme were not plated, so the silvery stuff is probably mineral deposits. Nice example of the type!

here a coin I bought in February 2015 cost 50 cents, in one of her disdainfully threw a pawnshop. Most likely it Tetrikus or barbaric imitation of Roman coins.

 

Very interesting group of coins Paschka !!!!

Love the Byzantine examples!!!

Each has much to like and appreciate.....and I would guess you are correct about the last coin----- a 'barbarous' version of Tetricus.

 

Well, this coin to ancient probably not true, I bought it in the summer of 2015 flea market, but it interestnaya and say that it oozes Tibet 18 ate 19th century.And maybe it's a souvenir for tourists .....

 

but where did the "Edit" option from the forum?or "Edit" then disappears?

 

The 'Edit' has a time limit....and then is no longer available.

 

Unlike some software for Forums like this the CT version prevents you from correcting your errors unless you discover them rather quickly after posting. One might say it is better to think before you post and read what you posted immediately afterward while edit is allowed.

 

But the broken coin for 2000 years, I bought in July 2015 for 20 cents at the flea market. It apparently Antonius Pius?

 

If you do prompt the last coin with Antonius Pius compel great. Continues to show a coin fall 2015
