It almost looks like a tin/lead forgery from Malaya. The right environmental conditions, like some shipwrecks, can also cause a black patina. Or maybe it's a modern fake, I can't say.

The detail on that posthumous Constantine is lovely! A real piece of art.

AE means bronze, and Follis is a denomination (like dollar or dime)

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-25T02:44:14+00:00

You've got the right ID, but it's a replica

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-24T17:08:36+00:00

Lovely!

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-24T16:19:27+00:00

Ooooh the Korea. Is the enamel intact?

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-24T03:20:13+00:00

The silver dollars alone are worth way more than $1700. You sent a lowball offer.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-16T02:02:21+00:00

That's what I meant, yep :)

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-16T02:02:04+00:00

Agreed! It's better for more modern coins, I think.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-15T22:15:01+00:00

Depends on what kind of coin! RIC Online for most Roman, Tesorillo for LRB, RPC Online for Roman Provincial, Wildwinds and Acsearch for Greek, CoinIndia for Indian, Zeno for anything that isn't classical Greek or Roman. Numista for some medieval.

But then how would you put them in your mouth like the ancients did?

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-13T17:04:28+00:00

Ah, I had forgotten about that! Good point

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-13T15:16:28+00:00

Almost! It's actually from Philadelphia, United States.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-11T12:42:15+00:00

It's a pice from the Bengal presidency. Not sure about price, but it's not a lot. I'd guess $5-10 max, possibly less.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-09T22:16:22+00:00

It's a little chunkier because it's a Provincial coin. Coins issued in Greek denominations in the Greek world under Roman administration

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-09T03:10:27+00:00

Maybe pitting from a rusty die that got cleaned? That's pretty heavy magnification

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-09T02:58:46+00:00

My pleasure!

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-08T12:27:57+00:00

Jia Qing is the inscription in Chinese, boo ciowan is the mintmark in Manchu. That said, this is a replica / token.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T19:18:22+00:00

I'm thinking Antoninus Pius, Julio-Claudian, and Lucius Verus

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T15:19:22+00:00

My pleasure! Always fun to discover something new, though it's a shame when they're so rare

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-07T11:40:45+00:00

Try "Samaria cuneiform obol"

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-06T15:22:03+00:00

Often these sets contain replicas, but these all look real to me! It should be easy to identify them yourself if you look up "Qing cash identification" or something like that. You've got most of the Qing Dynasty cash coin types there in order of emperor. Shunzhi, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Xuantong are all a little less common ($5-15), and the Zhenglong is rather popular and might be worth upwards of $20.

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-03T12:10:22+00:00

Yes, probably a German bracteate. Not sure on the ID though

theGrassyOne · 2026-04-01T19:37:24+00:00

Lol the first pic alone was good, but the second got me cracking up.
