    These along with your Sear book should help you manage your way through the ID of your coins. :hail:

    Identifying some of the Roman coins in this batch has been fun. However, the identification process for some of really poor condition coins has been a little more like punishment. I still have a small baggie full of what I believe will date circa A.D. 330. These photos depict how they are getting filed away.

    This one piece appears to be Valens but it doesn't make sense because the Sear book only lists one Valens coin at a high price. What do you folks think it is?

    Ahhhhh.... Apparently I was looking at a different fellow named Valens. There was a fellow in A.D 314 & that coin is quite elusive. There is also a fellow named Valens with common coins in A.D. 364-378.

    Can you make out the mint on the Falling horseman on the over sized flan?
