I picked up some roman coins from ages ago.....serious I mean it!

Looks to be made out of copper, very old dug out of a Estate Auction in Savanna GA this week

A old man died and they auctioned all his stuff off had lots of nice coins and stuff but I thought this was worth the most......from the info I gathered they tend to be more than 500+ years old.

Tried to take close ups and my camera sucks big time!

Any info would help me out.......

 

I hear if you can't fit them into arcades, they're pretty much useless... better give them all to me, I don't play arcades

 

OK added more pics.....what do yall think..?

This past weekend I bought some old 1834 coins for apx. $27.00 each...gotta think these things are worth alot more.....


Damn it my hands smell like I have been playing in a jar of pennies for a hour.......it should smell like umm... j/k

 

 

Those are worth $$$$$$$$$4


WHATEVER YOU DO>>>>>>>UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!-----


DO NOT CLEAN THEM.....their value will be nothing. Go to a coin appraisal shop, and SELL!

Good find!

 

I don't know jack about roman coins but I did find this link:

Here's what I found on ebay

I can offer a suggestion for better results if you plan to post photos on the net for ask "what's it worth". Get a piece of white foamcore board (or other strong white background) and photograph the coins on that. Get a table lamp, or whatever lamp you can and get it close (out of frame) to the coin. Use your flash. If you have a tripod use that too.

This way you'll have good contrast and max detail in your photos. While it's not the perfect studio photography solution, it will help a bunch. the coins are getting lost in the woodgrain background of you desk. Better yet, if you have a flatbed scanner use it!

Cheers -

PS. hope you make mint on the sale (ha! a pun!)

 

thanks...going to do research this week.....these are older than dirt!!! most are still covered with dirt and the smell is horrible copper!

I only cleaned 2 of them to get a better look...now I will not touch them at all

The Estate still has lots of coins but they are 1912-1960's mint Japanese, US, and Perto Rico currency.....I was only interested inthe stuff that is rare........anyone interested in the other coins pm me and I will give you a link on how to obtain them.

I will try to take some better pics in a few days
