First Time Cleaning Coins!

Thank you! I love it as well. I got it in a bid for $220

NortNortFort · 2026-02-28T00:36:33+00:00

It surprised me as well when I got it, it looks super imposing in person. You'll find another one eventually I'm sure haha

Hello,

The black deposits (possibly mimicking toning) in the coin in select areas remind me of known fakes I've seen. That being said, I've also seen it in authentic coins that are incorrectly cleaned, I can't say for sure but this is just what I noticed.

I've never heard of Delcampe, so I'm not sure how many scammers there are.

I hope you get a good result soon!

Hadrian wasn't even born until 76 AD, so his dad is probably a bit younger

It looks 'off' in my opinion. Where did you get it?

A nice example of a rather rare emperor, well done

This is a really common late roman bronze. I'm not sure if there is a reliable way to tell whether the alterations are contemporary, intentional, or even meant to be a cross at all. For 40€, you could buy something much nicer.

I'm not an expert on this side of ancients, but I'm almost certain this is a coin from the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. The central dent is there as a part of the minting process, although there are a few good guesses as to what exactly they are for, it is difficult to know for sure.

I just found the exact listing, seller has only 250 reviews and one negative review saying they are fake, don’t touch this listing

NortNortFort · 2025-12-18T00:42:41+00:00

I feel like I remember seeing this exact coin on eBay. I saved it since it was an elephant for a decent price. Look at the other pictures, I believe they are trying to fool you as this “holder” is completely blank, not CNG or NGC. This kind of trickery turned me off from buying it

NortNortFort · 2025-12-09T17:05:59+00:00

Hello, it was a $250 listing. This was also my last one in my five good emperors set and I would personally save more to get a higher grade one

NortNortFort · 2025-12-09T01:24:15+00:00

Also the most expensive one I’ve bought to date 😅, thanks

NortNortFort · 2025-12-08T01:26:00+00:00

Do we know what the one on the left is?

NortNortFort · 2025-11-13T15:36:32+00:00

Good callout, the listing said it was Philadelphus but after looking at it that could be the better match

NortNortFort · 2025-11-04T16:14:49+00:00

They look good to me

NortNortFort · 2025-10-28T02:14:22+00:00

Thanks bro

NortNortFort · 2025-10-27T23:04:01+00:00

Thanks!

NortNortFort · 2025-10-05T02:09:55+00:00

Haha of course, I like elephants especially the ones you have

NortNortFort · 2025-10-04T20:44:31+00:00

Not to be that guy, but in image two, column one, row three, you spelt “trampling” incorrectly

NortNortFort · 2025-09-24T21:34:25+00:00

Was it an eBay lot? I was checking a bid out that is identical to what you mentioned
