Welcome!

It looks okay from a first glance.

The piece appears to be a circulation strike.

I totally forgot about bracteate.

Keep it up!

The item on the left appears to be a seal rather than a coin.

Dragon? And I thought it was a griffin.

That would be an interesting undertaking as indeed a lot of information is not publicly available, and some countries (say the Dominican Republic) have had coins struck all over the place.

Welcome!

Very nice. My last trip to the grocery netted me a trio of Arches quarters in my change. Still happy nonetheless to add a new parks quarter to my collection.

You're welcome! scarcer = more scarce (akin to rarer/rare, but of a lesser degree)

Welcome! Are you able to provide direct links to the pictures (or hotlink them) perhaps? It seems that the photobucket site has lots of third party scripts running on it.

The Straits cent would grade between "About Good" and "Good", which would be several grades below "Very Fine". The grading system goes: Poor Fair About Good Good Very Good Fine Very Fine Extremely Fine About Uncirculated Uncirculated (Proofs are specially made collector versions with special dies and usually stronger strikes)

From a quick glance it appears to be Roman early 4th century, perhaps Licinius I or II. I'll come back to this later if someone else hasn't chimed in.

1. Error coins of NCLT are generally scarcer than error coins on regular coinage since they are more carefully inspected, though, as with anything, human error can always result in an error getting out. 2. Yes, but see also #4 below. 3. No answer, since even the examples you gave all vary considerably. 4. Coloured coins are relatively new, and almost all are NCLT issues, so errors on them would be few, only because the number of coloured coins relative to non-colored coins is low. That being said, the main issue with a colored coin missing one or more parts of the color is that it would be somewhat difficult to prove that it came without colouring (rather than being removed) and so would likely only be accepted (at least in North America) if a certification company guaranteed it.

That's a neat curve-around of the number on the right side :-)

A delightful classic!

Welcome! I regret it's not an area that I could assist in though I wish you the best.

Virtually every portrait of Constantius II of this type shows a rosette at the front of the diadem...

Welcome! I've posted a response in your other thread.

They're probably pieces from a belly dancer's costume, with one side (first picture) made to roughly copy the design from late Ottoman coinage.

Thanks for the review - sounds like a neat read.

Both are rather well worn and I don't have a reference ready but my guesses are... 1. Constans? "Victoriae dd avgg..." Two Victories holding wreaths. c. 340s (if I remember correctly it's the last bronze type before the Fel Temp Reparatio series in 351 or so) 2. Constantius II? "Fel Temp Reparatio" soldier spearing fallen horseman. c. 354-361 AD
