Hello! My grandparents went to Italy and gifted me this coin of Crispus, which is my second ever ancient coin. I’m very happy, but there is no reverse and the coin was described as “incuso”. I find it really interesting, but I don’t know if that increases or decreases the value. I have no idea of its worth and if it’s legit or not (I don’t know where they brought it) so any help or comments about this coin would be greatly appreciated!

Hello again! I just acquired my first coin from Jean Elsen & Ses Fils (which I showed in my last post), and I got great comments (which makes me very happy). I put him in a saflip and put him standing in my cabinet, but I was wondering if I should do something else to avoid damage or bronze disease… also, I bought it from a reputable auction house, but I’m Domitian-level paranoid and I just wanted to see if you guys would “confirm” (as best as you can) if it’s legit, and please tell me what are the elements that help to tell if it’s real or not! Finally, there are some golden traces on the edge (on the pictures), what are they? Thank you and any advice is greatly appreciated!

I just received my Caligula As I bought at the last Jean Elsen auction and I couldn’t be happier! I’m very new to all of this but I fear this will be my new favorite hobby…
