<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aaron Apfel, post: 1899360, member: 67415&quot;]Hi guys, I just received 1/16th of a kg of coins that I bought from the website <a href="http://www.crustyromans.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.crustyromans.com" rel="nofollow">www.crustyromans.com</a>. These guys sell in weight and not per coin (essentially meaning no one has gone through and picked the good ones out). They have all sorts of ancient goodies inside their hoards but unfortunately I didn&#039;t get any jewelry in this lot :/ However some of these coins are already looking quite promising.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular hoard I bought from has a good amount Roman provincial coins and smaller Roman coins as well as some Byzantine, Judean, widow’s mites, and some very large Ptolemy coins. Also some Greek and Islamic coins. - So they say on the hoard description, so i&#039;m hoping to get a nice variety here, however I&#039;ve only ever had roman coins before so I have no idea how to identify the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a picture, I threw in an American 1 cent coin to compare:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/280jv2x.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Future pictures will have to be taken with something other than my crappy phone&#039;s camera.</p><p>But look how tiny some are!! Some of them are as small as 7mm!</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can help me out with identifying some of these that would be great, obviously they are a little dirty and need an initial cleanup. I&#039;m hoping I have some rare ones here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks guys,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
