Title: Doc can you ID this coin please Post by: peanut on January 02, 2012, 09:00:06 PM tiny coin I found this week . Its roughly 7mm dia with 9mm max . weighs about 1gm
I've taken several views of both sides in differant orientations which may help ID. Title: Re: Doc can you ID this coin please Post by: The Doc on January 02, 2012, 09:11:00 PM Looks like a barbarous radiate, circa AD 270-280.

I see it completely differently ???
I would think it's a 3rd century Roman Barbarous radiate. Title: Re: Doc can you ID this coin please Post by: silky on January 02, 2012, 09:19:08 PM 3 rd photo down looks roman to me .

Title: Re: Doc can you ID this coin please Post by: peanut on January 03, 2012, 06:44:40 PM ah thats great thank you for the ID. My first thought was radiate because of the spikes on one edge but its so tiny and I couldn't make out a head on it so I thought Celtic maybe.
Here it is . Its the first coin on Wikipedia how about that! Now that I can see which way up the coin goes, I can see the head on my coin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarous_radiate[/url (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarous_radiate) Title: Re: Doc can you ID this coin please Post by: romano-brit on January 03, 2012, 08:34:50 PM Yep just like I said in the othr post
