<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1837871, member: 58941"]In the 1st group only coin I suspect through lack of handling them is top left, others look ok, but cleaned with hammer/chisel and drain fluid. Lucilla looks fine, but cleaned with a chisel. 2nd group, all apart from bottom right look right, quite like the Byzantine bottom left actually. 3rd group, same concerns over the Byzantine, but I think its thick patina chipping away, Hadrian looks right, but awful condition, wouldnt touch the other two. </p><p>As Doug says, unless in the hand to say whether coins are good is difficult and these are my opinions based on the photos only. </p><p>Value? only coin I would pay a couple of quid for is the Byzantine bottom left and I mean a couple of quid.
