Roman hoard found

I posted this link on the PCGS site, so thought that I'd put it here as well:

Those coins are sweet, what a find, they look mint condition

 

Really cool. Thanks!

 

So cool!

 

Thanks for sharing!!! I eat and drink Roman Republic coins for sustenance.
They had me at the picture before the story:


ALL PURE SILVER interestingly no bronze
between 75 B.C. and 4 B.C.
This was an ancient coin collector's stash. Coins of all the different players in Roman politics at the time!

 

I read about this recently...So awesome a find.

I think they need to glean whatever research they can about the hoard info, and then repatriate them into my collection.

Mwuhahahaha!

I did find it funny (in the linked article) the mention of “Augustus Young” - I’ve yet to see this moniker before.

Perhaps they were thinking of this guy?

Very interesting - thanks for posting.
