I have 2 coins that appear to be Roman both with the bust of who I think is Augustus. The small one appears to be gold and the large one copper. I have no idea of there ID or value. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Ill try and add some photos.
Modern reproductions, yes. If you are interesting in collecting Roman coins you might want to start with 4th century bronze pieces of Constantine and his sons. These can be had for around $20-30 each in good condition.
