swish513 contest

I would like to hold a contest. I'm not sure of the prize right now, but it will be silver of some kind, either some dimes and quarters, or an ASE, not too sure, depends on how difficult this contest becomes. Here are the rules: guess, once per day (calendar day, so a guess at 11:59 pm on Monday and a guess at 12:01 am on Tuesday is permitted, but your next allowed guess is on Wednesday at 12:00 am, Cointalk timestamp on my computer decides what is allowed and not allowed), per member, what was the last coin I purchased? Here's a hint, it's Roman. Might be Imperial, might be Provincal, it's not Rebublic. I don't own a BC Roman coin. Second hint, for those of you that may search coins I post, I haven't posted it on Cointalk.

Let the guessing begin. Good luck to everyone that participates.

Addendum: my wife, errorbug (CT member), is not allowed to win. She's seen and held the coin.

 

A Roman Empire Coin
Dated about 253 AD
Prior to the Rome-Byzantium split.

That is all I have, not much of an old world coin collector.

 

Not sure which coin you are claiming, but the date alone says, not the coin.

 

I was looking through my Kenmore stamp catalog and came to a page that had Roman coins. And thought I would give it a shot.

 

... It could be any of them!

 

Ok, my guess is below. Thank you for the contest.

Ancient Roman Empire- Constantine The Great 1 AD

 

Not the coin, sorry.

 

Ok, I need to clarify. I'm not looking for a specific coin variety, just Emperor or Province and denomination. For example, you could say Marc Anthony denarius. That guess would encompass all varieties of Marc Anthony denarius. Obviously, since I don't have any BC coins, it's not that one.

Here's a hint/modification to help narrow it down... it's from the 1st century AD.

 

*Edit: no wait, Vespasian.

 

Not Vespasian

 

How about Domitian?

 

A roman coin that commerated the founding of constantinople with romelus and remuls being fed by the wolf on teh reverse and on the obverse a bust of cosntantine

 

Brutus?

 

A.D. 269-271 Victorinus Bronze Antoninianus

 

Sorry, not him.

 

Sorry, not 1st Century AD. But I might have to see if I can get one of those. That sounds cool!

 

Nope. I don't own any Roman BC coins.

 

No, sorry.

 

Thanks, i like it =). I have been studying and collecting united states coins for 4 years and im jsut getting started into ancients. my pastors husdend gave me the coin =)
