I like fly fishing (catch and release mostly, sometimes gotta have one for he frying pan  ). Catching trout is such a thrill! I am pretty sure catching an ancient coin or two from the wild must be quite the rush! Maybe as good as trout fishing or better. Congrats on your catch!  One of these days I am going to have to ancient coin fishing! |

What do you think would be a decent price if I sold 'em all together?
Is it better to sell individually?

Thanks for the help and links!
Are these good candidates for getting authenticated?
If so, what company is best for Roman coins?
Thanks!

Sadly, it would probably cost you just as much to authenticate your coins as they are actually worth (wow, that was a bad sentence!!) In other words => it would cost you $50-$75 "each" to get David Sear to authenticate your coins (so authentication is really only a wise idea if you have quite high-end coins, and/or if you really have a bad feeling about a coin and want an official second opinion) ... NOTE => Hey, I'm not trying to insinuate anything (no, honestly), but I have become a bit leery whenever I hear "my buddy found these coins with his trusty metal detector" ... Ummm however, I do think that your CCF handle is absolutely hilarious, hoosierdaddy (who's your daddy? ... that's awesome)  Edited by stevex6

Yep....I agree on the possibility of these 3 coins being fake but they really look as if they were in the ground for 1500 years!
But then again, they could have been fake back then, too.

I've read this thread through three times and I can't find where anyone said the OP coins might be fake. I see no reason to question these particular coins. However, having said that, I trust very little (Ancients) that come out of Bulgaria. They have mastered some techniques in faking Ancient coins. I have one Bulgarian dealer I have bought from in the past that I trust and there are a few Bulgarians on CCF that I trust (t0rress for example). But I must reiterate that I have no reason to question the OP coins. If someone else does, I'd appreciate some insight.

Don't know how I missed this thread. They are all nice coins and all appear to be legit. IMO based on condition I would value them at $40-$50 each.
