Hello I’m Blake. I’m a newbie to collecting looking to expand my knowledge on ancient coins I’ve inherited IMG_0030.webp

I found this coin in only one place online identifying it as Seleucid kind Alexander 1 but the coin appeared to be grey. My coin appears to be copper. I’m also curious if this quality is worth getting graded or will have any significant worth?IMG_3165.webpIMG_3166.webp

Welcome to the forum Blake from Southern California.
 

Both pictures on post 4 are the same coin. The coin also appears in post number 1 if that’s what you were asking
 

Your "K" coin is Byzantine. It dates no earlier than 498 AD when Anastasius introduced Greek letters on the reverse of coins that indicated the value in 'nummi'. M for 40 nummi (a 'follis'), K for 20 nummi (half follis),etc. These reverse images (letters for denominations) were in use for 300 years.

The obverse may show Anastasius I facing left. The lettering would be ANASTASIVS PP AVG. The cross may be situated between the letters N and I.

Welcome to the net.
Appears Roman coins to me. Right now i'm in the middle of reading about Julius Caesar and his chasing after the Gauls in the Gallic wars. Pretty much doubling the size of Rome and a brilliant general. Some of the Gauls had coins showing their likeness around 58-50 BC.
 

Welcome to tnet hope to see more of you!!!Tommy
