I've had a look and that's such a shame:(. Plastic patina is a trick I've never heard of before. How easy is it to spot?
Does anyone know how common forgeries of late roman ae4 coins from the late-fourth and fifth centuries are? I'm trying to expand my 'fall of Rome'...
I picked up this little gem from a box of un-assorted LRBs. Looks to be an ae4 of Valentinian II. My eye was drawn to the vivid details on the...
I see your point, attribution without legends certainly isn't easy:wacky:! It's hard to see where the letters stop and the corrosion begins....
Hi all, I recently picked up this tiny little ae4. Can anyone help with identification? I'm pretty sure the crucifix-within-wreath gives it away...
Thanks for your advice! Those Whitman boxes look like a good idea. I collect roman denarii mostly so coin thickness isn't an issue for me. It's...
Wow! That type of case would be very impressive, a million miles away from my needs though. I don't have that many coins:D:D

On the side with the two soldiers and two standards. It reads at the bottom "SMTSB"
After some research, it looks to be a Constantinus of some sorts. One side reads: CONSTANTINUS IUN NOBC and the other: GLORI AEXER CITUS SMTSB
*update* I was wrong, it seems to be a Constantinus. However I am unsure which one. Also, are what does the "SA" mean on the mintmark? It does...
I bought this 18mm Constantine I (?) nummus today. It was £7 ($8.44 USD) from a box of unidentified roman coins because of its catchy portrait. It...
The Harold "Pax" penny has got to be one of the most ironic penny types in history.
True. Maybe roman history just appeals to whatever demographic watch the show. I mean there have been a few ancient coins in Rick's shop.
Wouldn't a genuine coin of that type cost more than $100,000?
