Just in from Europe!!! This lot of uncleaned Roman coins has just arrived from Europe and they are the best we have seen in quite some time. The remaining finds from this dig are selling quickly, but we will continue to offer them on eBay while they last. We have divided this lot into bags of 10 coins each and we are selling them for only $27.95 per bag. That's less than $3 per coin, which is quite a bargain for coins of this quality. For anyone with even a passing interest in ancient coins, the history of ancient civilizations, or even of history in general, this is an opportunity that should not be passed up. If prior demand is any indication, this lot will not last long especially at this low price. Own A Piece Of History ... literally thousands of years old! are 8 lots selected completely at random from the entirety of our bagged lots. No consideration was given to quality of any particular lot chosen for these pictures. They are intended to be random and will give you an idea of the nice quality of these unsearched coins. Please remember the lots are random, so t is variation. Untouched for thousands of years... These uncleaned ancient coins were found north of modern day Greece in the region of the ancient town of Philipopolis. They are uncleaned, still covered with the dirt that has obscured them for nearly 2000 years! Roman coins were struck by hand so no two coins are exactly alike. In some cases, one coin could be an entire days pay. It is fascinating to imagine the ancient people that once held these coins and the places these coins have been. They were used to buy bread, rendered to Caesar for tax, and may have even purchased admission to gladiatorial games. Because t were no banks at the time, coins were often buried for safe keeping. Countless hoards were buried by Roman soldiers before being sent off to battle. Alas, many of those soldiers never returned and their money remained in the ground only to be discovered millennia later. We cannot promise that every coin will have great detail as these are covered in dirt up to 1 mm thick, but we estimate that roughly 60% of these coins show some degree of detail even before cleaning. These coins are neither sorted through nor cherry picked. They come to you as they came to us. Additional Recourses: Due to the many requests for additional information, are a couple of recommended resource books.
