A friend bought these back in the '70's and '80's despite my advice and her heirs want me to try to sell them. These might not have been too bad a deal because they were bought from one of the more reputable firms. Any insights offered are very appreciated and especially guidance as to real value.
Commodus 177 - 192 AD AR Denarious REV-jupiter........... AU but not attractive
Septimus Severus 193 - 211 AD AR Denarius C 404.........XF
Severus Alexander 221 - 235 AD Seaby 2102 ................Very chAU
Geta 209 - 212 ............XF

Can also entertain offers but I'm primarily interested in info.

They’re all common emperors and types. You need the exact references to get a proper value as that is what determines rarity. The grades don’t mean much without seeing the actual coins. At a blind guess they could be $20 to $50 each except perhaps the tetradrachm which might, if you’re very lucky, be worth the $225 stated.
I’d be interested to see the tetradrachm
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
A group picture would help.
Cassius's denarius can also be worth a lot if it's attractive.
Getting a picture is quite difficult. I have a friend who might be able to get it for me. It's graded "VF" on the holder but the grade looks a little low to me.
The Cassius coin also has a high valuation on the holder. ($250). It's not extremely attractive but it's "nice".
Is this extremely unrealistic? The seller was honest enough that I have to believe it has some value.
I'm considering making them an offer for everything that doesn't sell at a higher price of about $20 each. Does this seem very high or low? I can just add them to my ancient coins and it should be worth shopping it around a little.
