✅ SOLVED And the cat needs one last help item, ancient coin. #3

[smokeythecat]

This one's the size of a nickel but thinner. Appear silver, I haven't messed with it. Obverse is a young guy with a sharp nose and legend IMP CAE (can't read the rest). Reverse is a person standing, in their left hand is a tall staff with things on it (imagine a shish kabob) and the right arm is extended holding another thicker staff. Can't read the legend. This one is cupped (I suppose damaged and is holed. Any help appreciated. Both look Roman to me.

Ideas? This one is holed.

Pretty certain this is Gordonian III.

I guess carthaginian

I know nothing about early coins but I think Gordonian was on star trek......

Dang Spell Check...Gordian.

 

[smokeythecat]

It is a match for the Gordian III ruler. Not exactly sure but size and weight are about right. YEAH!

 

[smokeythecat]

Any ideas of value? And is one of the silver plated ones or solid?

Honesty and forthrightness sometimes stink. I finally got it to a coin dealer and it was pronounced a reproduction. I did buy some real Roman silvers from the dealer though. I've known him for 30 years.

Here's a post from etsy for your coin, but it's a repo going for $35.

I gave it to the dealer.....he gives me free appraisals at times and discounts.
