Luke Sumner Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 http://www.ebay.com/itm/152114886699 I saw the on eBay I was wondering if they are genuine ancient roman coins, they seem very cheap in price if so and was wondering if any experts could help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 That´s bulk material in average conditions. The Romans produces tons of these types and modern metal detectors lift them to the market. The exact determination of each piece excludes the chance to get some rare issues. Better try to get some less- or unscreened bulk material (uncleaned and undetermined). Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's possible to ID a Roman coin that is in such miserable shape that nobody would want to collect it. The fact that only a handful of coins were shown (and that the ones shown were in average to below average condition) is concerning. I would steer clear. You can get lots of coins in that condition for less than $1 per coin, and you can get individual coins that aren't a "sight unseen" auction for about that price.

MerlinAurelius Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Probably real. You can get Roman coins that cheap. The seller might be cleaning them himself. I'm not sure though. Always check a seller's reviews carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
