The reverse of this bronze coin has a horse standing right. I can't guess the name of the Emperor on the obverse. I think he's Roman. Thank you.
It’s from Alexandria Troas… and many of these are from the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. We’d need some clearer pics of the reverse legend to be sure. Here’s one of mine of Valerian: The legend on my coin is IMP LICIN VALERIAN. Not sure about yours.
Be careful. Vcoins is a fine place to look for retail, but that is assuming someone is looking for that particular coin. even then most accept lower offers. I have the coin you posted, quite a few actually. I got them at FUN in a big bag of provincials for $2.65 per coin. They were about that grade. What I am saying is common, lower grade bronzes are poster children how each coin by itself is way higher than their real value due to dealer time invested. They need to mark up cheap stuff higher to get paid for their time. If you are buying, and do not "need" that coin, discounts well below Vcoins is appropriate. I probably have a couple thousand bronzes I would sell if I could get half Vcoin prices.
Agree. Every dealer has his personal minimum price that makes it worth handling a coin sale. Some of them have it over $1000 but many are $100. It takes no more work to handle a $100 sale than a $10 sale so buying $10 coins from a $100 dealer makes no sense.
