Havnt been able to figure out these ones.. thanks for the help! Coin1 Coin2 Coin3 Coin4. Egyptian but who? Coin5 also Egyptian but unknown who
I've not heard of the Egyptian pharaoh "Butwho". Butdo however is one I'm plenty acquainted. As in, but do the research: https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1¤cy=usd&order=0 Hope that helps with your first coin and that you use ac search for the rest. Ps, including things like weight, size and only asking for help on one or two coins per day will get you better results.
I admire your enthusiasm and desire to learn but posting dozens on coins will not do any good. Research and you might find the answers yourself (on a previous thread you were provided some very good links). And posting a single coin per thread (and not too many threads) will get you better results and only if you are really stuck. I will give you the attribution for what I consider the most interesting coin from the ones you posted I was not aware of this coin but I did a simple search on acsearch -typing "triskeles and cos" because this is what I could see on your coin. One of the first results is https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2313179 Is it similar, do you think?
You're being very generous, Ryro. One or two ID requests per week would be the polite thing-- especially since this is the busy season for new threads, with everyone posting their year-end lists in addition to the usual write-ups. @Justin Cohen, I see from your first post a week ago that you're trying to identify a bunch of coins accumulated by your grandfather but you're flooding the board. Pace yourself, man. Don't wear out your welcome because you don't understand the culture and courtesies of this board . You'll get the help you need and with better camaraderie if you just post one coin per thread and far fewer per week. It looks like a fun assortment of coins! I hope you catch the collecting bug as a result of investigating the coins in his collection. Regarding coin #2, the pictures make it look like bronze but it should be silver. Hopefully it's just toned silver. Here's an example of the type: Roman Republic, the Pompeians L. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Claudius Marcellus Military mint in the East (Apollonia and Asia), 49 BC AR denarius, 19 mm, 3.8 gm Obv: Triskeles, with winged head of Medusa facing at center; stalk of grain between each leg Rev: Jupiter standing facing, head right, holding thunderbolt in right hand and eagle on left; LE(NT) (MAR) upward to left, COS upward to right Ref: Crawford 445/1b; Sydenham 1029a
Here's one in my collection that might help you. Claudius, AD 41-54. Roman Æ quadrans, 3.95 gm; 15.1 mm. Rome mint, AD 41. Obv: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG, modius. Rev: PON M TR P IMP COS DES IT around large SC. Refs: BMCRE 179; RIC 84; Cohen 70; RCV 1863.
Thanks for letting me know! These are actually the last of the coins so I wont have any more posts after finding these ones. I have been able to figure out around a hundred other coins with the CNG, AC Research sites and google.
#1: Athena with owl reverse - style indicates that it could be an imitation of Athens, but this is a common coin pairing so this in and of itself may not narrow it down #3: Maybe Akragas, Sicily - worn AE counterstamped with the image of Hercules - 405-392 BC - produced during the destruction of Akragas by the Carthaginians #6: @Roman Collector nailed it #10: all Roman Republic victoriatii... minted for circulation in Magna Grecia #11: maybe Thasos? Hopefully that helps...
Actually, when I saw #1 and #2, the first thing I thought was "tourist copies." #3 has a countermark on the obverse. I assume this one is legit, so they're not all fakes. But I'm a little overwhelmed by the volume, so I 'll let others chime in.
