Hinkle Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I picked these up for 5 dollars a piece. I'll post the other in a few. I picked them up because I didn't want to drive back a hundred and fifty miles back. I kept asking this guy about these, but he said they were given to him and know nothing about these. The reason I wasn't going to pay more because this coin here doesn't look right. I have no clue about these either. But how did they come up with what this coin is, without markings.

J P M Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) First ,I know it is only $5 but these type holders I am not to sure about. There is no way to know what it is in the holder? Edited February 5, 2023 by J P M Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 That is a basement slabber and they can put whatever they want on the heading true or not. Just look at some of the coins that they grade. Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Yeah, that's a JGS. They're just guessing based on apparent composition. I see nothing on that item to attribute, not even weight, since it seems uncertain that's even a coin. If it is, it has lost any detail it ever had. Even if it were a clean, attributable small Constantine copper, value would run to maybe $8. So $5 is definitely too much for one that is none of those things for sure.

RWB Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You can buy all the ancient bronze coins you could possibly want off ebay auctions, etc. Most are from Romanian hoards and not worth $5 each. Stuff in the condition of your coin might as well be..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
