My education continues...downloaded the ERIC from the DirtyOldCoins website and have more books coming. There is a pretty substantial coin auction just down the road from me this Saturday and there are a handful of Roman coins up for auction. I have begun to research the coins (daunting and varied values) and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on some of those coins. I'm not sure if I'll be bidding (might be), but I thought I'd post a list of the coins and see what people here thought of them.
