My quest(s) for silver denarius continues. Looking at a Julius Caesar reproduction silver denarius right now.

Can anyone explain to me how a coin that is minted in 49 BC by a mint travelling with Caesar can be a reproduction. Also, how does this affect the value of the coin?

Thanks again!

Well, the coin can be a reproduction if it is made to look like an original but isn't an original. This would effect the value in most cases by making it worth a whole lot less. If you are referring to a reproduction of the elephant denarius, I've sold them for a dollar a piece in pewter and a few dollars more in silver. For comparison, I have an original in VG-F with light porosity that I paid $170 for.

Its a reproduction because it was made in modern times (most likely after 1990). This makes it devoid of numismatic value and it has no heritage attached to it. Some Renaissance copies may be around and these hold value (probably more than the genuine article) but the odds are you are not looking at one.
