battery died before I could get any more but heres a better pic

 

The second one is some kind of Greek coin..but that is all I know. For the bottom one, I think it may be Constantius Gallus.



stainless

 

I was thinking the one on the right might Nabataean, but i really dont know


the bottum one is pearl-diademed

 

ok these are what I am leaning towards

Top left Helena, maybe
Top right ANTIOCHUS, maybe VII???
Bottum Constantius II

got a few more ill post too
I think its a bunch of left overs from other lots, but still cool finds

 

ok now I am pretty sure the one on the bottum is Constans, had a similar in the same lot that was constantious that threww me off. and I'll just ut Seleucid for the greek serate.

When I get a chance I'll try n post a few more. been busy -_-

Before I got my car I made 1 purchase, so these will most likely be the last coins I have for a long time paid $14 for them + 5 s/h +$1 for insurance... (shipping was only 2 though .....) so 20 plus he threw in a low quality extra. I can recognize most.

 

I see some neat stuff in there. Have fun!

theres 4 As, Hadrian and Augustus for sure, posibly another augustus and Antoninus Pius.

A Dupoidus of Trajan
