Need help finding info on this coin

| user_47175

Hello, I recently found this coin in an uncleaned lot, and I think identified it. I could only find it from an ANS list of ancient greek AE 19 coins. I found no other coin that looked as similar to this coin as this one. I looked on wildwinds, a weber coin book, agora auction archives, romanumismatic auction archives, and coinarchives and couldn't find anything like this. I found 1 vcoin sale of a coin with the same description, but no picture. Both came from the BMC collection, a collection of scarce greek coins. Here is a link to the ANS page, and the auction where they bought it from. My coin's photos will be attached. Thanks everyone.

Uncleaned Lot

| user_47175

I recently received an uncleaned lot of coins, and these were my two favorite ones in it. The sestertius is a coin of Severus Alexander, the last emperor of the Severan dynasty. The other coin is a billion tetradrachm. However, I don't know who is on the coin. It doesn't look like Septimius Severus, or any other coins I have seen with bearded emperors. If you know, please tell me. Thanks a lot.

Nero Dupondius

Ancient Coins | user_47175

Hello, I recently won an auction for this cool coin. It's a Nero Dupondius from 65 AD. I think it's so amazing to have a piece of history from 2000 years ago.

Troas Neandria

Ancient Coins | user_47175

This is a pretty cool coin I have. I think it is a Neandrian Troas from the greek city state of Neandria. It features the head of Apollo facing right, and a horse grazing on the obverse. The letters NEAN are visible above the horse. A similar coin I found online is this one. I will show you the pictures of the coin, and the coin I found online. The first 2 are the ones I have, and the second two are the other one. If anyone has any more information about this coin, please tell me. Thanks everyone.

Large Cents

Coins-United States | user_47175

These are two amazing large cents I got by doing the American Early Copper Coin Project. I would like to thank the ANA and the project sponsor David Bird for this opportunity to earn free coins. The two ones I have so far is an 1852 and 1831 large cent. I have some pics of them here too. They look really nice, especially the 1852. I would estimate the grades for the coins to be EF for the 1852, and VF for the 1831. What do you think?

Liberty Head Nickel Found

Coins | user_47175

Hello again guys. Today I got a new box of nickels, and I am still searching through it, but I just found a pretty cool coin. I opened up the roll, and it looked like nothing cool was in it from looking on the side, but then when I looked through it more carefully, I found a 1910 Nickel. I would say that it is in G-4 condition, so it's not amazing, but still a pretty awesome find. I will update you if I find anything more. Thanks for reading.

Who is on this coin?

Ancient Coins | user_47175

Hello, I recently got this ancient roman coin, and am currently soaking it in distilled water. I am trying to identify the emperor, but no matter what website I go to I can't identify him. The coin is most likely from the Constantine/Post Constantine era, but I can't pinpoint who is on it. Anyone with an idea of who it could be?

Coins I found

Coins | user_47175

Woah! I was searching through 7 rolls of half dollars and I kept finding silver after silver. All in all I didn't find any 90%'s, but I found 18 40%'s. This is probably my best find yet.
