<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shewolfnm, post: 1158910, member: 29690&quot;]many apologies for bring up an old thread, but my question and rambling really DO belong here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I collect coins simply because i want to own them, not for value ...</p><p>with that point being made...</p><p><br /></p><p>How can it be possible that there ARE so many real roman coins out there? And how can you be sure it is the real thing ?</p><p>I have ordered 2 in the past 6 months because I have always wanted one.</p><p>the first one I got came from a dealer, sealed in the paper container. </p><p>The other is in a zip lock baggie.. one of those kind you get to &quot; clean &quot;... Yeah.. sometimes that makes me think scam . Anyone who wants to keep their coin isnt going to scrub their coin with soaps, but instructions say to.</p><p>Anywho.. that may just be my own quirk and i will gladly own that. </p><p><br /></p><p>My rambling is this .. </p><p>&nbsp;I would like to know that what i have is real. I highly doubt that, after 1000+ sales someone could STILL be selling fakes,but again.. that is a TON of coins. </p><p>&nbsp;what are the common designs on a roman coin?</p><p>Where is this information found?</p><p>what other links can I look for to validate what I have? </p><p>Is there a website, or even a book that i could read that would give me more of a history on that era and might touch on the , what appears to be mass production of coins? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been in google for the past hour, typing in my questions, varying my search terms but still coming up a bit short.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
