Just some older odds and ends (tiberius?)(denarius?)

Hi
I am the same newb that posted te large coins earlier here and I am sorta afraid to wear out the great welcome I already received on the three coins I posted earlier .

So here are some less terrific (smaller) and I am sure not so valuable coins.

I have no clue what they and want to get a name (identification) and estimated price so I can put them on Ebay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S.
If any of these are from the time period of when Christ walked this earth I would like to keep that one for myself.

The first is a real beauty. One of the better that I've seen. I would welcome it into my collection.


Constantius II, AE3, Constantinople. DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / FEl TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier standing left with lace-up boots, spearing fallen horseman who is unbearded, wears Phrygian helmet, hair in two braids, reaching backwards. Gamma in left field. Mintmark CONSIA star. RIC VIII Constantinople 82.

 

WOW!!!!!!!!! Thanks.. I thank you for the great news!

Now what would a value be on this? I mean practical value for sale on secondary (ebay) market?

 

The second coin is a Roman provincial Egypt Tetradrachm, but I cannot make out the legend on the obverse.

 

You won't wear out your welcome here by posting coins- - it's what we do!

The first is a very nice example of the falling horseman type of Constantius II. The second is a billon tetradrachm, but I don't know these well, so I'll let someone else ID it. Both are long after the time of Christ. Constantius II is 4th-century.

 

I'll take a stab at around $40, but I do not know this for sure. Take a look on acsearch.info to see what like coins have sold for in recent sales or on Vcoins to see what like coins are being offered.

 

The third coin is a Tiberius denarius known as a Tribute Penney from the bible and from around the time of Christ's crucifixion. These sell for a lot, but yours is in very poor condition and probably will not garner a very high price. Still, a Tribute Penney will fetch a premium. I would say around $50-$60 perhaps?

 

The lest coin you posted is Gordian III denarius. It is in rather rough condition. Gordian III denarii are plentiful so I wouldn't expect this coin to sell for more than $10-$20 in this condition.

 

That is fine.. I trust you guys and that is what I will ask for it.

 

This is a heavy coin.. I can weight it if anyone wants to know the gram weight.

 

Is this 3rd coin from when Christ walked the earth? If so, I will keep it

What about the others?

 

I am less than certain that the Tiberius is genuine. It should be shown in person to a specialist dealer to tell if it is $50 or 50 cents. Because Tiberius was the emperor at the time of Christ's ministry and crucifixion and this coin is mentioned in the Bible (render unto Caesar those things that are Caesar's) this is a popular item. If it is real, you will want to keep it; if fake, you may as well keep it anyway. The Gordian is an antoninianus not a denarius and I believe $10 is top dollar for it. I'll guess the Alexandrian tetradrachm is Probus but agree that it lacks real ID points. As such it is worth very little. The Constantius II is exceptionally nice and very common but still should bring more than the others. $40 is reasonable.

The cow/calf drachm from Apollonia is also questionable to me but was well before the time of Christ. The photo is not clear enough to make me certain one way or the other. Condition is everything in coins and the Constantius is the only one with eye appeal.

 

I don't understand why it would not be genuine? I saw these coins when I was a young boy. They were stored for over 50 years. I doubt it is a counterfit.

But you know way more than me so..I don't know anything except that my father had them for a long time.

I can try and take a better pic tomorrow if you think it would help?

 

which one is the triberius? Is it the second coin down from the top?

 

So the only coin which was around during Christ ministry is the second one down from the top? The triberius?
