[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7859256, member: 111387"]As alluded to ITT already, most all of these are fairly easy to identify. I've found plenty of enjoyment and knowledge gleaned from doing the research myself. The legends are mostly complete. #7 (REV: SAECVLI FELICIT) is a cool coin celebrating the birth of two brothers; one of which was the well-known narcissist 'Gladiator Emperor'. As mentioned, 'ACsearch' and 'Wildwinds' are great resources, as is 'CoinArchives'([URL]https://www.coinarchives.com/[/URL]) and 'OCRE'([URL]http://numismatics.org/ocre/identify[/URL]). Auction House meta-search engines such as 'Sixbids Archives'([URL]https://www.sixbid-coin-archive.com/#/en[/URL]) and CNG's Research Sold Items([URL]https://www.cngcoins.com/Coins_sold.aspx[/URL]) may also provide additional attribution info. As for denominations... (For silver)If the emperor is wreathed(laureate), it is a denarius. If crowned(radiate), it is an Antoninianus. For empresses, If their bust is set on a crescent, it is an Antoninianus. Otherwise, size (<20mm) would dictate that it is a denarius. In hand, the denarius feels more chunky, while the Antoninianus often feels thinner and flatter.[/QUOTE]
