Very poor quality, but I suppose worth near $4. It also depends on shipping costs. I always add the cost of shipping to every coin I purchase. It is, in fact, what you paid overall.

 

They're junk, not even worth 10 cents each IMO.

 

the price is with shipping included

 

Many of us could not get any pleasure out of them. You can get excellent example of each for $10-$15 and as soon as you spend that sort of money you will wish you didn't have those pieces of junk.

 

Crap. Pass.

 

I already have some like that.

 

Had a coin shop give me a couple small BAGS of that quality LRB's to me. Gave out several to Grandkids and others. I still have around 100 left. 'Taint worth buying them. Only good for giveaways to create ancient-coin interest with folks / kids.

However, @Kentucky would probably take them for $12.99 each if you sell them on eBay. If he asks on CT if they are worth buying, I will vouch for them.

 

see my post above yours...

 

LOL, YES, I HAD read the post. I figgerred you would STILL want more... I got bunches!

 

You have LOTS of coins I would give $12.99 for, but the ones from the OP, I wouldn't pick up from a dollar dish at a show.

 

I know absolutely nothing about the market and laws regarding ancient coins in your country. Still I find it hard to believe that those are what is considered collectible at any price. I guess this is just a matter of opinion. I have been told for most of my 50+ years in the hobby that I am wasting my money buying the low grade coins I usually buy and show here on CT. It does not bother me so much because I feel like I get value from the education associated with owning coins that are fully identifiable and, to my standards, attractive. While I might be able to ID the coins you show, I have to agree with those who say to save the money and buy something just a bit better.

I would suggest you put some effort in finding out if anyone in your country collects ancients. If there is a coin club that includes such people, make contact with anyone who might be able to guide you to local sources. Postage from your home town will be more than the value of the coins so I would expect $3 of that $4 cost is to cover the envelope and postage. I can not say what the coins are worth since I know no one who buys this grade. You might find a local collector who would give you better coins. Again, I do not know the laws in your country but you might check to see if there are ancient coin specialists in surrounding areas if you are allowed to visit. I am currently concerned with the politics of coin collecting to the point I will not send ancient coins out of my country. You need to learn and abide by the laws of your country and those surrounding.

 

Personally I wouldn't want those at any price, even free. They're not fully identifiable and I can almost guarantee you if you continue collecting you'll sooner or later realize there was really no reason to buy those particular ones. You're much better off saving up the $10-$15 and buying a single identifiable and worthwhile coin.

 

I wouldn't buy them. Save the 4 dollars and put it towards something better.

Is there ever a show like this in Latvia?

 

they are worth a buck or so.l yeah. but theres so many of them( Constantinian dynasty was the longest Roman Dynasty because Constantine I had so many sons and they all became either Augustus or Caesar with power sharing between them on east or west

We are talking like 50 plus years. and they each put out a lot of bronze coins

Constans, Constantinus II, Constantine II,. I mean there are so many out thee they used to use this for ballast on ships

don't get me wrong, its still a 1700 year old coin, asnd a piece of history- without a doubt...... but they are far from rare and not very valuable

Constantine I is a bit more valuable

There are a lot more valuable bronze coons, Marcus Aurelius or Nero- for example.

I bet everyone on here has a bunch of coins of Constantines offspring

theya re good for a beginner- I got some early on. but I moved on to better coins

Id rather but 1 coin worth $150-200 than over a hundred Constans coins for the same price

 

Hmmm i dont know, i think no but i found some sites https://www.monetunams.lv/
https://www.eurogold.lv/en/catalog/latvia-coins/

 

The link you put in is from our neighboor country Lithuania

 

LOL, got me thinkin' about a great comic that always reminds me of one of my Daughter's personality...

Maybe I should sneak a few LRB's into folks pockets at some coin shows...
