old Maybe Roman ? coins

The Probus and Maximianus ID's are correct. Neither is in a condition that would be worth the postage to mail them to someone but attractive, mid grade ones might bring $10-20. As with modern coins, condition is everything when it come to price. If your only interest is their value, I would suggest giving them to a child who will then win a school contest for bringing in the oldest item. Each of these rulers issued hundreds of varieties of their coins and I do not have an exact match for either of yours. I am not a specialist in these but even a specialist would want better looking coins for ten times the value of these. I post below two coins, one Probus and one Maximianus, that I suspect would sell for 20 to 50 times yours but that are no more interesting and no older than yours. Which would a coin collector prefer? Which would be cool in elementary school? If you decide to go into ancients, I suggest you consider better coins that are easily readable at least until you determine how interested you are in any particular ruler. A coin 1800 years old does not have to look rough and ugly. It just depends on where it was buried (type of soil, kind of pot etc.) and how harshly it was cleaned by its finder. Both of these still have some of their original silver plating but the Probus is several times more desirable in a condition sense due to even surfaces. Clear?
Probus


Maximianus
