<p>[QUOTE="Bing, post: 2620071, member: 44132"]No, it's not rare. Many non collectors of Ancient coins have a misguided belief that Ancients in general are rare. They are not. Millions upon millions were struck for the Roman Empire, somewhat less for Roman Republic and Greek coins. Don't get me wrong, there are rare issues that can set you back many thousands of dollars. None of the coins you posted, however, are in that category. Your friend's father had some nice coins, but none of these are rare. Many of these you can find for sale on Ancient seller's web pages, such as Vcoins and CNG, for much less than what you might think. Tell your friend to keep the coins. He's not going to get rich selling them. They are highly collectible and would sell, but he wouldn't make much. Keeping them he has a memento of his father, and perhaps he might find an interest in collecting these wonderful pieces of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
