<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1005209, member: 19463"]Thanks to all participating but especially to tcore who IDed the Ephesis, Ionia, bronze which I consider worth $20 in that grade and the Caligula quadrans which should bring at least twice that due to the name recognition of that ruler and the expense of his portrait coins. I was no fan of portraitless coins but found the RCC type special since it refers to the remittance of the 1/200th sales tax by Caligula. Some of the others require more specific ID to know if they are worth $5 or $100. I'm sorry the legend on K did not come through more clearly. It reads DNMAGNEN (T)IVSPFAVG. The question on that coin is how much to discount it for being broken. </p><p> </p><p>I'll let this ride a while to see if anyone ID's the sleepers. I figured the Caligula would go first because it is so easily readable (being in Latin helps). A,B and D are easily readable, too, but the clues are not Latin. I will say that none of the three are worth $20 if they are the most common variation but not all are the common types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
