<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2567950, member: 19463&quot;]The only way to learn to ID coins is to practice but rather than buying the worst coins, it might do you more good to practice on photos of better coins.&nbsp; The way your helpers here have been able to help is by comparing what remains on your coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; The last one posted (#12?) strikes me as two different coins rather than the two sides of one coin.&nbsp; The first is definitely Claudius II which is clearly spelled out on the coin for easy reading.&nbsp; The second looks like the remains of a Tetricus.&nbsp; Rather than taking the ID&#039;s offered in this thread, try to find online photos of other coins of the same rulers and types matching up those details to what you see on your coin.&nbsp; Doing this a few thousand times will prepare you to ID the next batch as easily as our kind helpers did with these. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was unable to ID the one with the &#039;helmet&#039; which is odd since it has more legend and even a mint mark.&nbsp; There is no helmet, I suspect but the number of rulers using that reverse was limited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
