jlueke Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I am sure someone will be able to id these for you, they look like typical 4th century Roman bronzes. The best general book to get will be the 4th volume of Sear's Roman Coins and Their Values. In the meantime you try wildwinds also to help id the coins.

Victor Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 thank you very much Victor for your help My pleasure. You asked about value also, and none of these coins are rare, and a few have condition issues. I would not pay more than a few dollars each, but then none are in my collecting focus! jlueke already mentioned Wildwinds as a site for I.D.ing, but it is also useful for getting an idea of what a coin might be worth, as many have prices realized. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
