The Shua New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 11/02/2016 9:45 pm Hi, I recently bought 3 ancient Roman coins off of ebay. I don't really know anything about ancient coins but they were relatively cheap, so I decided to buy them because they where old and seemed interesting. Anyways, I was wondering if these coins are real. I know that it is impossible to know for sure over the internet, but from what you can tell, do these look legit? Thanks, any help is much appreciated. Also if you recognize these coins and could give me any other information on them, that would be really helpful. I am curious how much they would be worth.

The Shua New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 11/02/2016 10:36 pm Thanks for the reply. I forgot to include this, but this is what this was part of the descriptiom on ebay: Domitian: Caesar under Vespasian 69-79 AD; Caesar under Titus 79-81 AD; Augustus 81-96 AD.Fourree denarius Does that help at all? I can try and get clearer pictures. Also, do you know how much these would be worth and should I bring them into a local coin store? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Not worth as much as the real deal, but still collectible. Report this Post to the Staff
