I have a ROMAN DENARIUS OF THE EMPEROR TRAJAN (98 - 117 AD) CELEBRATING THE ROMAN CONQUEST OF THE DACIAN IN 106 AD. REVERSE IS AN IMAGE OF DACIAN SEATED WITH HANDS BOUND BEHIND BACK ON A PILE OF SHIELDS, SWORDS, AND SPEARS. I was wondering what something like this is worth, or where I can find more information about this type of coin. Thanks in advance!! Mitch
have to see pics, for value. whats the condition? heres some coins of Trajan http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/trajan/i.html
Thanks, I will get some pics posted as soon as I can! Is there a book on these coins that would help me figure out this info? Thanks again!! Mitch
If you're referring to a price guide, no. And the references are expensive, but it would be the Roman Imperial Coinage for this coin. stainless
Coin Book David Hendin publishes a very well known reference book: http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Biblical-Coins-David-Hendin/dp/0965402924 Enjoy. kindest regards, B. Leon www.zzantiquities.com www.zzancientart.com
First off, it is irrelevant to this thread, as the OP has a Roman imperial coin and not a Judean. Second, I would not buy this book at the present time. Hendin is working on a new edition which shouldn't take too long to come out.
If you want to see what others are trying to sell coins like this for, go to VCoins and search for "trajan dacia denarius" (and make sure to have it match all words).
