Good afternoon. I am posting only one picture (because that is all that was available to download) of a group of old Roman Bronze Coins 100-300 AD that are coming up in an auction. I have noticed that their are several knowledgeable people on these forums and was wondering if there is anything of any value in this group of Old Roman coins. Thanks for any help as I know nothing about these type coins(or any others matter of fact lol)except that some can be very valuable! Hopefully this will post okay, as it is my first post
Looks like about $100-$150 worth to me, but I am a general buyer, not a specialist and that would be a figure I think not to lose money on.
Good old Coin Talk Forum and their awesome members. Thank you for your fast and knowledgeable answer. Happy New Year!
I'm certainly no expert but I personally wouldn't pay more than $20 or so for these. Could potentially make a good study lot for someone wanting to learn to ID coins but these all appear to be very common fourth century Constantine-era bronzes and all are overcleaned.
Excellent, you guys are saving me some of my hard earned money I knew I could get the answer here. Thanks again!
I agree about the $20 number, although their condition is below "collectable." Identify them and give them away to kids who exhibit any interest.
I totally agree with RS. These all look to be over cleaned. No patina, bare metal, common coins. Sorry Ed. Not really what I would spend my money on.
I love this forum! First place I thought of to find out if they were worth my time was the Coin Talk forum. I can not thank you all enough for your very informative and good advice! Happy New Year!
I neglected to say welcome Ed. We have had a lot of new members lately. The more the merrier. Happy New Year to you too.
You guys are too harsh on these (maybe too cheap). As a dealer I'd say they were worth $3-5 each on average. Sure, you can buy one for .99 on Ebay, but for what total cost after shipping?
I could use a bucket full at a few bucks each. They sell well to people who do not collect coins or specialise in ancients, but who are fascinated by the idea of the age and historical significance of these artifacts. The general antique fair/fleamarket going public will shell out the equivalent of $10 - $15 each for these as metal history without batting an eyelid if the sales pitch is good enough.
