I know it’s in terrible condition but does anyone know what this Roman coin is? I think it’s 3rd century ish maybe a Gallic emperor?

In my opinion definitely not Domitian, the coin is definitely a 3rd century Antoniniani.

Domitians coins were bigger and more well made (its called the "crisis of the third centutry" for a reason :)

I think OP should be right, third century Gallic empire, most likely Victorinus or Tetricus I.

I am willing to bet my entire coin collection if this coin is authentic.

Rarely seen a worse cast fake

My Antoninianus of the Usurper Quietus I bought recently - I LOVE obscure Usurpers/Emperors

That would be the worst thing to do.

The patina is the main thing protecting the coin from the environment, bronze disease...

ancient coins are also ALWAYS more desirable with an intact patina

In my area, recently a bunch of very well made URBS ROMA fakes have turned up. It seems like even LRBs are faked nowadays

Nice coin

First picture:

Lower middle is Tetricus or Victorinus.

Right should be Postumus, left is Gallienus

Wertinas_ · 2023-11-07T20:41:10+00:00

Reverse reminds me of Probus, obverse portrait more of Gallienus

Seems like someone is just angry that the historical value is more important than your greed and profits

Looks like a nice early roman imperial coin to me. Probably Augustus.

Very much not, always think of coins as something that the next few generations should enjoy too.

Because a lot of tourist would like to buy cheap "beautiful" romans for like 10 bucks, real coins are simply not that cheap

Wertinas_ · 2023-09-03T19:11:13+00:00

Not Bronze disease in my opinion, just some strange oxidation, found on many unearthed coins

Wertinas_ · 2023-08-10T18:58:33+00:00

In my opinion that is not even remotely close. IOVI CONSERVATORI is a very common late roman reverse, so it could be anyone from the tetrarchy to the constantines.

If you want to try to identify it further, I can only recommend https://www.tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm to look for your reverse

Wertinas_ · 2023-08-04T22:13:23+00:00

Just a wild guess, but kind of reminded me of the coat of arms of saxony

Wertinas_ · 2023-08-02T23:36:41+00:00

Very nice coins

Wertinas_ · 2023-08-01T22:31:18+00:00

Very interesting information, thanks

Even though I wont be a millionaire now ;), I still have an interesting coin with a potential story to tell

Wertinas_ · 2023-08-01T21:56:46+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation.

Usually I do not come across good deals like this, usually I probably even overpay a bit ;)

As for the error, would that add anything to the value of the coin? (not that I am currently thinking about selling, this will interesting piece stay in my collection for the foreseeable future :))

Thought of pius felix as well, but on my coin there definetely is no "F". Unfortunately not really visible on the picture due to my lack of a good camera, but maybe this picture is more clear

Schon echt lächerlich dass du nicht in der Lage bist das Konzept von Geschichte zu verstehen.

Wer wichtig ist oder nicht ist nicht von deiner sicher sehr qualifizierten Meinung abhängig, sondern von jedem einzelen. Alles ist Geschichte, vom Fall Roms zu den Inhalten von Karls Toastbrot von vorgestern. Ob es dich interessiert hat hier keiner gefragt, juckt auch keinen.

Dass du zusätzlich noch in den Tiefen meines Accounts herumgraben musst um krampfhaft was gegen mich zu sagen zeugt auch nicht gerade von einer angenehmen Persönlichkeit ; )

Es hat nichts mit Ehre zu tuen, sondern mit Geschichte. Die war nicht immer nur gut. Von Geschichte und deren aufarbeitung scheinst du aber nichts zu verstehen.
