canadiancoinaholic Valued Member Canada 137 Posts	Posted 07/18/2015 5:52 pm Thanks guys, picked them up at a flea market from a couple of sweet older ladies for $2 hoped they were real but didn't really expect it. Well it was more fun than buying a lottery ticket and I still have something to show for it ( unlike a lottery ticket) Report this Post to the Staff

canadiancoinaholic Valued Member Canada 137 Posts	Posted 07/19/2015 10:00 pm It's to bad that they are reproductions, not so much for any financial gain, (I'm okay with that too) but it would be amazing to have something that's been through who knows how many hands through the centuries . I might just have to get into ancient coins. Thanks everyone Dan Report this Post to the Staff

There are plenty of real examples that are available for the price you paid. My LCS has a lot of about 100 roman coins that I pick through occasionally. I started with the nicest examples and am moving to the more worn items. I pay them $2 a coin... well worth it in my mind. It is fun working to identify them Report this Post to the Staff
