Message:: [QUOTE="SorenCoins, post: 2927830, member: 73708"]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-[ATTACH=full]710321[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]710322[/ATTACH] 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-[ATTACH=full]710323[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]710324[/ATTACH] 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-[ATTACH=full]710325[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]710327[/ATTACH] 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-[ATTACH=full]710331[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]710332[/ATTACH] 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![/QUOTE]
