[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 5271598, member: 112342"]So this is my follow-up post from my [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-first-sestertius-and-some-goodies.371685/#post-5255650']old post[/URL] on winning an ancient coin lot from ebay. These are the Roman Alexandrian tets I'm happy to add to my collection! I tried to attribute them as much I could, but any help is appreciated! From left to right: Diocletian? Year: 288 AD?? Nike on the reverse? Maximianus Year (1): 285 AD? Alexandria w. bust of Serapis & scepter Diocletian Year: 286-287 AD Tyche standing left holding rudder and cornucopiae, star above minting year (Greek gamma letter) Lettering: ETOVC [I][COLOR=#ff4d4d][B](Can anyone tell me what this means?)[/B][/COLOR][/I] Γ [ATTACH=full]1220384[/ATTACH] Reverse [ATTACH=full]1220385[/ATTACH] and these things are chunky! [ATTACH=full]1220386[/ATTACH] Also, there is one more coin from the lot, a cruddy 4th century coin, no idea who the emperor is, but I think a proper cleaning will reveal it, can anyone help me on how you would clean this coin?
