<p>[QUOTE="Quant.Geek, post: 2862175, member: 74799"]I usually try my best to research unknown coins myself as I get some joy in going through catalogs, research papers, journals, and history books, but these two have stumped me. I bought both of them knowing that the attribution given didn't seem to match the coin as I looked them up. Any help is much appreciated. Attached is the original attribution and pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Justinian I (527-565) AE Denarius, Rome</b></p><p>8mm., 1,60g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Justinian monogram</p><p>Rev: Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right.</p><p><br /></p><p>DOC 372 (Uncertain mint; nummus); Morello 19/1 (Ravenna[?]; 2½ nummi); MIBE 94; SB 340 (Uncertain mint; nummus); BMC Vandals 140 (Vandalic).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.sixbid.com/images/auction_images/4109/3366150l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Uncertain Emperor (Justin I or Justinian I ?), (circa AD 500-600).
