18th coin down is 1/4 real mexico Sinaloa 1847 1866. actually 1/4 de real 1866. obverse faces should be small head inside wreath with inscription "ESTADO LIBRE SOBERANO SINALOA." It would help if you numbered or labeled your photos.

Pic 5 & 6 is Morocco Falus AH 1276 Rev says 1299 translates to 1882. falus =20MM, 2 falus=22MM, 3 falus= 28mm.

I presume pics 7,8,11,12 are the same coin. Egypt 2,5,10,20 Piastres 1923 to 1933. Ok so its late and I'm going to try to ID others and hold additional posts until I have several ID ed.

they have all been corrected @bobsr, and everything is now in the correct order numbered. sorry for the confusion.

bobsr · February 22, 2018 8:12PM

coin 11 looks to be Roman Empire 69-79 AD 81-96 AD Domitian Caesar Rome AR Denarius. Slant of head is a little out of align and the hair braid is not quite right so could possibly be fake but don't take that to the bank.
Coin 6 appears to be same reverse as coin 4. Still Egypt 1923-1933 yea on 5th and 6th look, the verdigris is same on both reverses.
Wow interesting range of coins so far. That #1 coin is going to turn out to be Ancient Rome, I'm pretty sure and I've got to say that is a work of art for a 2000 year old coin. I may be wrong but that crown design was prevalent during that period. Very nice coin regardless of its origin.

I'll take the ancients:

1 Roman Empire, Emperor Aurelian, Billon Antoninianus, c. 274-275 AD, Serdica (?) mint. Sear 11572 or variant.
7 (Having trouble with the inscriptions/Best guess) Roman Provincial, Emperor Gallienus, Billon Tetradrachm, 258-259 AD (?), Alexandria mint. Sear 10546 (?)
8 Roman Empire, Constantius II as Caesar, Billon Centenionalis, 336 AD, Siscia mint. Sear 17710
10 Roman Provincial, Emperor Severus Alexander, Billon Tetradrachm, Regnal year 5 (225-226 AD), Alexandria mint. Unlisted in Sear.

@TitusFlavius winner. Thank you for your help! Please dm me your address for a little thank you. @bobsr thank you for your kind help!

fyi. is this a fake? I was told the bubble in the reverse made it questionable. @TitusFlavius

bobsr · February 23, 2018 8:33AM

I'd say the bubble is from delamination from poor composition of medal and would make it seem more real. The problem is uneven wear reverse vs obverse of the coin. The upper left of the head appears distorted or worn not consistent with the rest of the fields which are sharp around the lettering and the facial features in the front are clean with wear around the nose and jawline which is again inconsistent . I'd say this coin exhibits some very questionable characteristics. The reverse is blurred I don't know if bad photo or uneven wear. Depending on the price I'd say don't take a chance without confirmation from a more informed source and TitusFlavis sure puts forth an expert knowledgable source on ancients.

The Vespasian denarius certainly looks strange. There are known fakes of the type, but I can't find a real match in Forvm Ancient Coins' fake reports. The weird blobs, and mushy details are certainly suspicious, and the overall style (especially the lettering) looks off. The lack of low relief detail, especially in the portrait, are also characteristic of casting. Here's a genuine example on Wildwinds for comparison: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s2295.html#RIC_0849

SSR · February 23, 2018 1:13PM

many thanks @TitusFlavius @bobsr i recently acquired all of these and some from an estate sale. Ya in comparison it does look off.

Number 5 - Iran 1151 (AD1738) 6 Shahi

SSR · February 24, 2018 7:16AM

@yosclimber many thanks!

@MrBreeze do you happen to know coins number 12/13/14 or what they say in arabic? or if anyone this would help figuring out what it is.

FYI coin number 2 just found out is a India-British BOMBAY PRESIDENCY 1/5 Rupee KM# 276
1214//(17)99

Thanks

MrBreeze · February 25, 2018 8:39AM

I do not know the jewelry pieces. I can identify the Iranian coin because I own an example. Can you get a size and weight on coin #14 and turn the second picture to the left 1/4?

yosclimber · February 27, 2018 4:22AM

14)

SSR · February 27, 2018 7:32AM

@MrBreeze i unfortunately do not have any thing to measure or weight, but its about the size of US quarter and about twice the thickness of a quarter. Hope it helps

CIVITAS · February 27, 2018 1:19PM

The Vespasian is definitely fake.
