<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1146258, member: 26302&quot;]Like others have said, ancient gold hasn&#039;t been $50 for a while, though I did get a Byzantine gold in EF on Ebay a couple of years ago for $100. That was a major, &quot;how the heck was I the only bidder&quot; moment not soon to be repeated. Its not the gold, its the desirability and rarity that makes them expensive. If you really wanted a gold coin, I think about the cheapest would be a mexican two peso coins from the 40&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you like silver, there is a slew of coins in that price range, sometimes even a nice Roman Republican coin. Lots of choices. I find Ebay a decent place for these kinds of coins, you can always PM one of us here if you are worried about a specific auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would look at maybe specializing in copper, since they are more affordable and will give you the chance to own many more coins, and many more emperors. Also, there is a much wider field of ancients than just Roman coins. Ancient Greek coins has probably more types than Roman, and are more diverse. Byzantines made coins for almost 1000 years, (they were the eastern Romans). China made billions of coins, and you can get authentic 2000 year old Chinese coins for a dollar or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>The availability is endless. Look around and ask all of the questions you wish.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
