Message:: [QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3859505, member: 72790"]These three coins do not quite compare with my avatar in beauty but they were a whole lot less expensive. As a matter of fact, never in my more than sixty years of collecting have I ever purchased ancients for less than this. At today's monthly show there was a junk box, three coins for a dollar. There were three what appeared to be ancients but the only thing I can determine for sure is that they are ancients. The larger bronze in the center seems to be (maybe) a circa 200 AD Roman provincial with faint outlines of some emperor (Septimius Severus?) and his buddy. The one on the right seems to be a Third of Fourth Century AD "Minim" of somebody like Tetricus or Claudius II, or some approximation of one of them. The third one on the left just may be a "widows mite". Anyway for 33 cents a piece I absolutely could not pass up the chance to liberate them from the ignominy of "junk" status. I just might give one of them to my brother-in-law for X-mas. I am sure most members here have some really cheap find from someone else's junk box.
