I have no clue who is this. I attach also some picture how I found him. curiosity-How many worth this coin. Silver coin 3g 18mm
Looks like: RIC 382 Trajan AE Dupondius. 98-99 AD. IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM P M, radiate head right / TR POT COS II, SC in ex, Abundancia seated left on chair of two crossed cornucopiae, holding sceptre
I was think this is some silver because under dirt shining? Are metal brass also shining? And how many worth aprox?
With your help I think it's RIC 11 Trajan Denarius. 98-99 AD. IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM, laureate head right / PONT MAX TR POT COS II, Abundantia seated left on chair formed by crossed cornucopiae, holding sceptre, folds of drapery on her lap. RSC 301.
You can figure out the price of coins by dong comparisons between various markets like VCoins, Ebay, various slabbing companies. Things to consider are approximate grade condition such as condition of manufacture and preservation. One thing to note is that you would price a coin depending on what you would pay for it, to be fair. Since your coin is not clean and that's how most people want their silver Denarius coins. Around $30-$40 USD. Feel free to do comparison shopping and find out what I mean. It takes awhile to get the hang of it but soon you may know what your coins are worth. It's all market base and what the dealers want to sell them for.
I don't know Gil. I think this particular coin might bring a bit more. Perhaps $60-$85 would be my guess. If it's cleaned properly, perhaps more.
After cleaning and done properly, you are right. No offense but I would not pay that much for the coin as it is right now. Not trying to offend anyone with the price but that is what I believe. I hope you don't mind.
Granted, the portrait is quite nice and well preserved. But the reverse is kind of worn and maybe a weak strike on Abundantia, honestly. You taught me well with bargain shopping, Bing. But you're still the best. lol
