<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1578498, member: 19463"]The siliqua is Julian II (FL CL IVLIANVS PF AVG). I see no reverse image on that, the Caracalla and the barbarous bronze so there is no help on those. The barbarous one could be of considerable interest depending on the reverse. The Julian siliquae tend to be VOTa in wreath types which are not all that interesting. The Caracalla is young Augustus and could be several reverses including some premium ones. Where was the reverse image?</p><p><br /></p><p>The Donative platform reverse on the sestertius is a special type but not really rare. People like it because it is complex and probably shows the event where it was originally passed out to some citizen. I have a similar Trajan. They are expensive in high grade with well struck detail but most are worn like this (or much worse) and I'd think $100 is fair over here. If you can get 40 UK pounds for it, I'd think that is a reasonable wholesale offer. Dealers expect a profit. If I found it, I'd keep it. Just how many decent surfaced coins do you get out of a hundred corroded lumps?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
