Fun low end lot arrived today

Just arrived 5 minutes ago so more investigation needed... but looking like.. Augustus (poor shape), Agrippa, Claudius, Gallienus (w/doe), Severus Alexander (3 standards rev), Marcus Aurelius (X4), Hadrian, Antonius Pius, maybe another Severus Alexander (nice Nike reverse.. )? Phillip II and 5 other small Greek bronzes...
Some are pretty dirty.. dropping them in some distilled water. Will give them a light cleaning with a soft rag and get some better photos.
Anyway - was a super cheap lot (well under $100)- wasn't exactly sure what I was getting..look better than expected and will be fun and educational to attribute.




Please post any lower end coins that you enjoy!

Nice lot @Clavdivs !

 

I love those. Granted, I'm new to ancients so most of my stuff looks like those haha. But I like the thought of the hands they have passed through before being lost, rediscovered, and finally making their way to me(you).

 

Nice... that lot looks like good fun for the price.

 

Some great stuff there! Nice ones of Marcus Aurelius, a couple nice Severus Alexander provincials, a Gallienus zoo antoninianus, a MB of Hadrian, an as of Agrippa issued under Caligula, a Phillip II/Alexander bronze from Macedonia ...

What fun that will be to clean and attribute these!

 

My whole collection is at around this level .. with maybe 5 or 6 nicer coins.
I love them and have no issue collecting at this quality. I feel lucky to have them.

 

Nice haul, especially for $100.

Some of those greeks look cool!

 

Really nice lot, @Clavdivs!! Lucky lucky!!

 

heck yeah! i see some very desirable coins there.. nice pickup man!..

 

Oh yeah, I like that lot a lot. Nice score!

 

Nice variety of sizes! As far as posting any of my lower end coins that I enjoy—that would be my entire collection —Just kidding! All of my coins are high end when it comes to their history and importance to me.

 

A great selection of interesting coins!

Like the Greeks .

Great group, they're going to be a blast! Looks like the top 3 in there would be worth about 100 bucks! NICE!

 

Good clean fun at an awesome price.

 

What a great lot, especially for that price.

I particularly like the small Greek coin from Gryneion, Aeolis (facing head of Apollo/mussel shell) on the top right. If I see it correctly, there are only three known types of coins from Gryneion, and this is the larger denomination (BMC 1) which is the least common of them.

(This is my first post on Cointalk – I've been silently reading for about a year, but when I recognized the 'bargain mussel shell,' I had to congratulate on this nice addition to your collection!)

 

I see you have a Marcus Agrippa,More than one Marcus Aurelius, and a couple Commodus. Cool beans! They are favs of mine

 

Welcome to CoinTalk, @Orielensis! Glad you delurked

 

Welcome

 

That was the one coin that stood out to me too!

Is that a worn Claudius at the top there? The dark one?

 

As others have said-- fantastic score! That is a big big bang for the buck.
