<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1500890, member: 19463&quot;]Bronze #1 is the best coin of the lot IMHO.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess it is worth double the other three combined but that still may be $50 or so.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is from Carthage, the great enemy of Rome, and has been discussed on this site recently.&nbsp; I&#039;m away from my books so I don&#039;t have the quotes and details.&nbsp; Search for Tanit and Carthage as keywords.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Bronze #3 is Probus from Alexandria in Egypt, year 3.&nbsp; Search for Probus Alexandria tetradrachm eagle.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver #2 is <font face="arial">a C Servilius Denarius. 127 BC</font> but rough enough to have lowered value compared to the others as quoted by mat.&nbsp; If it sold for $40, I&#039;d call that generous to the seller.</p><p><a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/servilia/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/servilia/t.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/servilia/t.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Domitian and the Anonymous Republican are better (top of mat&#039;s guess) while the Trajan is lower end. </p><p><br /></p><p>We all have different wants and standards.&nbsp; The Carthage, Salonina, Anonymous Republican #4 and Domitian are decent for their types and should sell easily to collectors like me.&nbsp; The others have less eye appeal to me and will probably be wanted by newer collectors who believe anything old should look rough.&nbsp; Price and demand go hand in hand but what makes some people demand one coin and not another is less clearly defined.&nbsp; All appear to be genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
