Title: Having Difficulty finding these coins... Help!
Post by: ANTIQUERAIDERS on February 20, 2012, 01:15:17 PM

Someone brought in these coins and wants me to buy them... I of course need to see whether they are worth anything and for some reason I cant find info on them. Please help, the person is desperate for money and I honestly do not know how much to offer as not to offend...

This is coin #1

Look like bronze roman coins to me... Although, I think those look like they were just made... do a search on google for bronze roman coins, there are about a 1000 of them and they have always gone for real cheap prices... Tons of them avail. But, I could be wrong and they are something else.  Good Luck

I think I remember the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York selling them in their gift shop years ago.
