    I'm selling the following 20 ancient Greek and Roman coins. These were spread across 2 threads of 10 coins each, but the mod kindly merged them into a single thread for me. Please send me a private message and indicate which you're interested in. I will mark individual coins as “SOLD” as they sell. Payment to be made via PayPal or Venmo. Coins will ship for $5 within the United States via USPS first class mail. Insurance (if desired) will be extra and depend on your total. I happily combine shipping.

    I've priced these fairly, so I won't be entertaining best offers at the current time.

    The photos were taken with my cell phone and are not the highest quality. The coins will likely look even better in-hand. Message me if you have questions or need additional photos.
