[QUOTE="CarolineP, post: 4418649, member: 77994"]Hi! So recently I bought 10 ancients for $40 total, but I can't ID some of them :( Could y'all help me, and tell me the approximate value of everything? I've ID'd the 2 in the one picture, and my thoughts on the other 8 so far are: Top row: 1) Left is either a Philip II or ATG Macedonian bronze coin 2) Looks like a Mauryan Karshapana or half Karshapana (not sure which one) 3) No idea on the next one. Looks like Roman to me. 4) Top right looks like some sort of early Islamic coin Bottom row: 5) No idea on bottom left 6) Next one looks like some sort of Philip V Macedonian coin, but the reverse doesn't look like any Philip V reverses I've seen 7) Looks like a dichalkon from Arados 8) Egyptian maybe? The "I D I" letters next to the eagle didn't turn anything up in my searches though. Also, I was told that the Claudius As may be a contemporaneous British copy...what are your thoughts on that one? I'm leaning towards it possibly being the first copy design listed here: [URL]http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/imitclaudius.html[/URL] Thanks in advance :)[/QUOTE]
