Cracking Roman Silver From The Road(Update)

[Silver Searcher]

Managed a couple of hours at the road tonight before the heavy rain hit unfortunately they were working late so I had to make do with a small set aside strip which was full of weeds

Didn't think I would have much luck, but to my suprise the first signal turned out to be a hammered coin and a short x at that not quite sure yet wether it's a Henry111early short x or a King John, will have to update later

Second and last coin of the night turned out to be my third Roman Silver from the road a very nice Septimus Severus can't really believe that I only had two coins and both ancient Silver SS

Hi SS well done on such fantastic finds.... Congrats on the Banner, you deserve it

Would you have any idea on the values of the following coins? These were bought here in South Africa at a coin shop many years ago.

1) Claudius I 41 - 54 AD, Quadrams.
2) 3 of Ailes, Constantine I, 307 - 337 AD.

Claudius Coin







Constantine Coin







Sorry to use your topic as a pricing venture, but I just cannot seem to get any values from anywhere.

God bless

Hi Peter...

thanks for the comments, as for your coins, the first coin would not be worth very much about $5, the second coin is in nice collectable condition, one like yours sold for $24 in 2004 on Wildwinds it could make a little more than that, it's the larger Bronze Roman coins that fetch the best prices, the coin I posted that made Banner is infact only worth about £50, there are a lot about hope this helps a bit SS.

Thanks SS for the help, yes it does help me a lot I have always thought of roman coins not being worth that much as so many were made, and they are found by the jug full, but they are great coins to have in any collection.
Thanks again, and sorry for hijacking your topic with my problems......

God bless
Peter

Nice finds!

The silver is definatly a Short Cross Hammered Silver Penny of King Henry III (1200's) - There is a good reference here - http://www.coincraft.com/catalog/displayitem.asp?mID=4&cID=193&ID=CHC2902

Strangely enough, I messaged a guy on ebay who I bought a metal detector off what his best find was a couple of days back, and he said it was this coin....

What part of the country did you find this by the way?

Welcome fellow UKer, hope to see some of your postings in the future. SS will not mine me telling you that he is from 'up North'

Thanks for the warm welcome Crusader, I'm sure I will be around quite a bit over the coming months. Have just bought a new detector and getting back in to the hobby again after about 15 years, so will hopefully be posting some interesting finds...
