<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 243577, member: 5233&quot;]OK, I am mainly a collector or US coins but I have shown interest in other areas at times.&nbsp; When I was younger and had minimal knowledge, I purchased two coins that I was told were Roman coins.&nbsp; They are badly worn and one appears to has vergis (spelling?) pretty badly.&nbsp; I&#039;m sire they are close to worthless...but I would like to know what they are (and if they are even Roman)...and what (if anything) they might be worth.&nbsp; Roman coins have always interested me...but I think these are pretty bad...but you be the judge as I know very little about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the first one, it is about the diameter of an American nickel but not quite as thick.&nbsp; It appears to be made of copper.&nbsp; On what I assume is the obverse, there is a bust of some kind facing to the right and on the reverse what appears to be a person standing.&nbsp; There are the best photos I could get, but they look bad...the coins look terrible but the camera is doing them no favors either:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/Roman1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a smaller coin, it is about the diameter of an American dime but thinner.&nbsp; It appears to made of copper as around the edges is quite lusterous.&nbsp; The obverse has what looks like a soldier (based on the helmet) facing to the left and on the reverse an animal of some kind (a wolf or something).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/Roman2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any idea what they are, when they date and what they are worth.&nbsp; Like I said, I doubt they have much value...but I like them and would like to know about them (if you can even identify them).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry about the photos, but its really pretty much the best I can do.&nbsp; Hopefully they are good enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
