Second coin is Roman Emperor Volusianus, who co-reigned with his father Trebonianus Gallus (A.D. 251-253). Interesting- I picked two coins out of...
Using the letter VIB TREB GALLVS, it appears the coin is of Roman Emperor Trebonianus Gallus (A.D. 251-253). This really helps narrow the search....
I have been interested in collecting denarii but found it too challenging. I was at a local coin shop and the owner showed me a group of Roman...
Sorry, the picture I looked at made it look like a die gouge, which would have caused an elevated metal deposit on the coin, not a mark in the...

Quite a few people I talk to who buy bullion tell me they like the fractional ounce coins (1/10 ounce, etc.) so they can spend it more easily...
I prefer raw coins but if I were to grade a coin, it would be for an attribution, or grade for coin that is higher-end, for me-$800 and up. The...
