Gregarious, you're thinking of the decline in the morals of America's youth.
I think I can see a "DI" right before the inscription break on the 3rd coin. That would make it Arcadius. I think the first one is Gratian, based...
You will probably get the most help if you post each coin in a separate thread. Until then, you now know which rulers to be on the lookout for....
. . . thus proving that the decline of the Roman Empire was caused by a comet impact.
The photo is not good enough to positively ID the coins. They are all common coins from the late 4th century. Possible emperors are Valentianan I...

And, just to throw a monkey wrench into the conversation, here's mine: [IMG] Unknown mint, 4th century A.D. Barbarous imitation of Constantine...
I don't think the pictures were in the book. Both photos show the same page of the book in the background. So Ranger 120212, it you're following...
Sigh.
I've been using 2 x 2 cardboard holders for years, probably because before I got into ancients I collected US coins. But I'm thinking about...
I'm curious why you switched from the mylar flips to the envelopes. Can you tell us your thinking on this?
Is there a list somewhere on this site of members of this forum who are also dealers? That would be very helpful. I, too, buy coins from eBay...
