Hi, as the title states I'm wondering whether this is a coin of Philip II? That's what it was sold to me as.

I've got no reason to suspect that the seller is lying, but this portrait looks quite a bit different to the other coins of Philip II that I've got so I'm just wondering if it's definitely him?

Also whilst I'm asking this, can anyone recommend any other coinage of Roman Mesopotamia that I could buy? I absolutely love the design on the reverse of this one, and I always love a black patina too (it looks brown in the photo but it's black in person)

I have no experience with knowing how to read a legend (I really need to learn) so that doesn't help

Hi, I'm looking for people's opinions as to whether or not this is a genuine coin

I know it's technically a Tudor coin rather than medieval but I thought this subreddit was the best place to post it.

The seller is on eBay (which I generally don't trust) so that's why I'm asking for other people's thoughts on this before I even consider making an offer on it.

I mostly collect Roman and greek coins but have recently started getting into medieval and Tudor stuff, that's why I'm looking for another opinion before I make any decision on this.

What's the verdict?

Thanks

Fairly sure it's Greek (that part seems obvious at least).I think that's Zeus on the Obverse but I could be wrong, then the reverse appears to be someone on a horse.

I'm pretty sure it's bronze (just hard to tell since it has a green patina). The last two pics are an odd colour, but it's actual colour is the green seen in the first two pics.

Does anyone recognise this coin? If so, can someone please provide information about it? For example its ID, the region that it's from, the time period, etc..

Thanks in advance.

Ive been trying to get an Athens owl tet for a while now, ive got an ancient Arabic imitation of one but I haven't got one from Athens yet.

I was bidding on this one and my bid was winning, but now I've been outbid at £160 -- I'm just wondering what would be a reasonable max price for an owl tet of this sort of quality?

I know the portrait of Athena is pretty bad quality however I don't care about that, I'm just wanting an owl tet with a half decent owl visible on it and I'm happy enough with this owl. I see the prices for this coin tends to vary drastically, so I'm just wondering what is the most that other people would be willing to pay for this?

I'm debating on whether to place another bid or not, I'm thinking I'd probably go up to around £200 but I'm worried I might be overpaying if I do that (it's very difficult to judge as I've seen them priced at everywhere between £150 and £5000, however the quality of this one obviously isn't great)

Hi, I'm just looking at this coin on eBay and id like a second opinion as to whether it's genuine or not?

I think it looks okay, but I only have 2 other coins from the Parthian Empire and they both look a bit different to this one, plus since it's eBay I'm skeptical and would like to hear other people's thoughts before I consider ordering this.

Does anyone notice any potential red flags?

Thanks

If anyone has any info on the reverse so I can properly label it that'd be very useful thanks.

The coin is an Aurelian silver denarius

Looking at this coin for sale and whilst I'm still somewhat of a beginner, something about this one just immediately screams "fake" to me. Am I correct in thinking that this isn't legit?

The pic of the reverse in particular seems incredibly suspicious

Thinking of buying this from a coin and fossil dealer called "Tascio Rex" -- their website appears to be genuine and they claim to have an authenticity guarantee etc however I've never heard of them so I figured I'd ask for a second option.

Can anyone spot any red flags here or does it look fine?

The description is listed as follows:

Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin.

Rev: AΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ.

Zeus seated left with eagle and sceptre. 4,23 g

I recently won a coin in auction for £16 and according to the information card, only 4 to 6 examples were ever found (I'm assuming it means coins of this specific reverse from Antioch mint).

Is there anywhere that I can actually verify this information? I would have imagined that a coin in XF condition with only 4 to 6 examples would have been a lot more expensive. Is it fairly common for specific Roman coins to have such few known examples?

For future reference, are there any resources where I can look stuff like this up in future?

I've found this list https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Emperors%20and%20their%20RIC%20volumes of Roman emperor's and their RIC Rarity volumes, but what I'm wondering is if there's a resource where I can look up the rarity of a specific emperors coin based on the reverse image and mint location etc?

As the title states, does this look like it could be bronze disease?

Also unrelated question but can someone give me some more detailed info on the reverse if you know more about it? It's a Roman bronze coin of Severus Alexander

I'm deciding to add some additional gold coins to my collection and there's some Celtic coins I'm looking at, however I only have 4 Celtic coins in my collection (3 silver and 1 bronze) and I know next to nothing about them.

This is an eBay seller so I don't want to bid unless I'm absolutely certain that they aren't fakes. Never bought from this seller before so I probs won't take the risk.

Out of curiosity though, can anyone see any red flags for either of these two coins that would suggest they might be fake?

As the title states. Are these all Henry III coins like I've labelled them?

Or is it two Henry III coins and one Edward I coin? I labelled them all as Henry III but upon closer inspection I think one might be Edward I.. I don't know too much about Medieval Coins so I figured I'd ask for a second opinion.

It's the one at the top that I think is Edward I. Is this assumption correct?

Also, semi-related, but what's a fair price for a Henry III Long Cross half cut coin? I won these for £2.80 each via eBay bids, which I think is definitely a good price, but for future reference I'm just curious as to what is reasonable for a maximum bid price? I set these three at a max bid of £4 each but won at £2.80, however I'm assuming that even £4 each would be a fair deal..What's the maximum I should pay, just for future reference? As the seller has more of these listed.

Thanks.
