<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1912667, member: 19463"]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. </p><p><br /></p><p>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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
