    Hello everyone! I am very glad to be learning more. I have come to the point in identifying my coin purchases from ANA where I have identified all but 6 very tricky ones.

    Of that 6, 4 are ancients.

    So, anybody have any input on these?

    Coin #1-

    I know a few things about coin #1.
    -Esty type 51: emperor dragging captive.
    -Either Valens, Valentinian I, or Valentinian II.
    This coin has no fieldmarks by the way.


    Coin #2-

    This coin I really dont know much about, a description of "Radiate head 200's AD" came with it which sounds pretty accurate. It has an interesting reverse design that I havent seen much before.

    Coin #3-

    I really dont think this coin can be identified. The description that came with this one suggests that it is "Crusader - late period (c. 1260)." I tried to do some researching but coins from this era just are a loss to me. Maybe unidentifiable.

    Coin #4-

    I think this one has a better chance of being identified because I do see a figure holding a cross. The description with this coin says "Crusader 1/4 denier (c. 1204 AD)
    Byzantine like [unknown symbol] can see part of hand and the figure holding cross."


    All help is greatly appreciated! Thank You!

    Coin 2 I agree is Claudius Gothicus. Here's one for comparison.
