<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8050117, member: 118540&quot;]Hello [USER=130272]@Justin Cohen[/USER] </p><p>Welcome to the ancients forum.</p><p>I don&#039;t mind, if someone posts multiple coins, in a single OP in a thread, if the person is a newbie, who just wants a general idea, of what some coins are. I&#039;d rather see that, than multiple threads, especially if there would have been more than 2 threads in one day.</p><p>I recommend posting each photo, as a &quot;Full Image&quot;, rather than as a &quot;Thumbnail&quot;. That would be one less step, for people who want to view the photos. After you upload a photo, you can click a button called &quot;Full Image&quot;, which is next to the photo, under the text area.</p><p>I&#039;m not an expert on authenticating coins. Therefore, I&#039;ll just say &quot;X coin looks like a Y&quot;, rather than &quot;X coin is a Y&quot;, unless otherwise noted.</p><p>Coin 3 looks like a Roman Trajan bronze coin, perhaps a bronze as, judging by the size compared to the US quarter. </p><p>Coin 4 looks like a Roman Hadrian bronze coin, perhaps a bronze as, judging by the size compared to the US quarter. On the obverse, you can see &quot;HADRIANVS&quot; in the legend.</p><p>Coin 5 looks like a Byzantine 40 nummi follis, from sometime between 969 AD and 1092 AD, a so-called &quot;anonymous follis&quot;, because it has a portrait of Jesus Christ on the obverse, rather than the Emperor, and the ruling Emperor&#039;s name is not on the coin. Other experts will probably give a more precise attribution.</p><p>Coin 6 looks like an ancient Greek coin. I&#039;ve never seen one, where the portrait is wearing hat like that. But I&#039;m not an expert on this type of coin.</p><p>Coin 10 looks like a very valuable Roman Caesar coin, but I don&#039;t know enough, to know if it is authentic.</p><p>Coin 11 looks like an ancient Greek coin.</p><p>Coin 12 looks like an ancient Egyptian coin, under the Ptolemy dynasty.</p><p>Coin 13 looks like a very valuable ancient Greek coin, but I don&#039;t know enough, to know if it is authentic.</p><p>Coin 14 looks like a Byzantine Justinian I 40 nummi follis, from approximately 541 AD. On the obverse, you can see the &quot;IVSTINIANUS&quot; in the legend.</p><p>Coin 16 looks like a Byzantine gold or electrum coin, from 1092 AD to 1400 AD. Other experts will probably give a more precise attribution.</p><p>Coin 17 looks like a Sasanian or Tabaristan coin.</p><p>Coins 18 and 19 look like Byzantine bronze &quot;trachy&quot; coins from1092 AD to 1400 AD. Other experts will probably give a more precise attribution. </p><p>Coin 20 looks like a Roman sestertius, because of its size relative to the US quarter. Perhaps a Faustina I or Faustina II, or perhaps one of the other wives of Roman Emperors.</p><p>Coin 21 looks like a Roman Probus antoninianus. On the obverse, you can see &quot;PROBVS&quot; in the legend.</p><p>Coin 22 looks like a Roman antoninianus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
