<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 2867786, member: 82549&quot;]I suggest you start by telling her that you posted the coins here and that the consensus was that the coins are probably legit but in poor condition. Then, if you&#039;re interested in them, offer a price for the entire lot. Earlier I said that $2-$3 per coin would be a fair price, but that was for 12 of them. If you&#039;re looking at the lot of 78 coins altogether, then I woulds stick with $2 each, maybe $2.50, tops. There are probably a couple of individual coins that might be worth more than that, but you won&#039;t know until you receive them, and anyway, you expect some discount when buying a bulk lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve never owned an ancient coin before and just want a bunch of them to play with, maybe learn a bit of the history about, show to students in a history class or even just give away to friends, this would be as good a lot as any. Someone spent a fair amount of time IDing them as best as they could, so you know which are ancient Greek, which are ancient Roman or Byzantine or whatever. It will be fun to hold them and imagine how old they are and who else might have held it and what life was like back then, etc., etc. But if you are looking to resell them for a profit you will likely be disappointed. Even if you double your money, is it worth the effort? Unless, of course, you have a coin shop or an antique shop or a flea market and want to just dump them into a bargain bin with a sign that says: &quot;Ancient Coins! $5 each!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
