Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 10/02/2009 01:19 am What would be currently the most available ancient coin? and thus the least expensive and therefore the most unlikely to be counterfited? I don't have a single ancient coin and would like to start with one coin, described above. Any info is much appreciated. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 10/02/2009 1:57 pm Nic, What are you looking for? Bronze, silver or gold? Prices range from a few dollars to a 'fist full of dollars' Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 10/02/2009 10:40 pm The late Roman bronzes are still sometimes counterfeited, but there are far more genuine examples out there than there are fakes. The ones most likely to be faked are coins in the name of famous people (especially people named in the Bible) and famous places (especially places mentioned in the Bible). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
