Hey i have some coins i need help identifying

Here are some pics of them, if the pics are to small i will get on my other computar and post on that one, so they will be bigger

Joey,
Yes the pictures are too small. Please post one coin at a time as well as to not confuse the identification process. Your picture of the single coin is a Constantinian era GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse (two soldiers with standard between).

Can you send me a picture of the one you think it is $:-\$

Without decent pictures you won't get an ID. These are the tiniest pictures I've ever seen in an ID request.

You're right, there is a mistake, please read AD334/335

Ok so how much could i sell it for

Do you think anybody on here would want to buy it

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2013, 04:47:20 pm »

Selling here is a breach of FORVM rules. The coins are common types, and worth very little in monetary terms.

Joey S · « **Reply #17 on:** April 26, 2013, 05:08:16 pm »

How much is this particular coin worth?

areich · « **Reply #18 on:** April 26, 2013, 05:09:06 pm »

You might be able to buy a small hamburger with the proceeds from the sale of all these coins. Probably not enough for a cheeseburger. That's not a joke.

HELEN S · « **Reply #19 on:** April 26, 2013, 05:32:24 pm »

personally i think the topic is a wind up if it was april fools day i would have understood
noone even a newbie would consider that the coins could be identified from such small photos and then if the poster were to look through ebay and see similar coins at under one pound sterling he would'nt need to ask the question about its value
hmmmmmmm are you pretending to have no knowledge so you can have a giggle at board members expense ONLY TIME will tell

How about a small Hamburger Coin? That's what we called the tiny coins from Caesarea first cataloged by Dr. H. Hamburger. They were tiny no matter how you photographed them!
