1908 Roman coin collection

[Jebbit]

Part of the Owen D Mort collection. Looking for a general value. Not for sale, just curious.

 

Have a ton of stuff I have collected from coins to vinyl records to African artifacts. Decided to start cataloging everything.

Would need to see obverse and reverse of each individual coin. Most seem to be provincial or smaller bronzes in fairly rough condition; possibly uncleaned. If it does indeed contain a Julius Caesar, the value would be at least a couple hundred dollars. It might be worth a bit more as an antique educational object than for the coins by themselves - I certainly wouldn't break it up to sell them!

Priciest emperors typically would be:

- Julius Caesar

- Tiberius

- Caligula

- Galba, Otho, Vitellius 

- Nerva

- Pertinax, Julianus, Albinus

- Macrinus

- Gordian I, Gordian II, Pupienus, Balbinus

- Aemilian

Thanks for the info on this. It's a start. I tagged above the ones in the set. Yes they all look pretty rough.

Gordian III would be the grandson and son thereof of the former two, if I remember correctly. Silver coins from his reign are quite common.

For " Aurelius" it sounds like you might have Aurelian, who was around the 270s-280s or so (going off memory).
