[QUOTE="JPD3, post: 25470275, member: 116216"]Hello again to the folks in Ancients. I know identifying most ancients is a cakewalk to collectors in this forum, but it's all Greek to me. All the Caesars and rulers look too similar. The only clue I have to what era or reign it might be is from the different reverse types. Most times that is even a quagmire to me. I am still attempting to break apart and clean (to some degree) coins from a hoard my Pastor has. It's getting more difficult to separate the encrusted ones. I destroyed two US quarter size ones prying them from the main body/ball. I also ended up snapping two smaller ones in half attempting to clean the detritus between the lettering. Sigh. Any help letting me know what these coins are is appreciated. I will post the other four I dislodged and endeavored to make readable around this weekend. Thanks again antiquity sleuths.
