<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 941726, member: 19463&quot;]A pleasant looking but extremely common late Roman coin like this is well worth 50 cents and perhaps more like $5.&nbsp; The mint mark is partial as are the main legends but their readings can be reconstructed which is more than can be said for most coins of this type we see offered for anything near the price.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ancient coins are not nearly as consistantly priced as are modern US.&nbsp; There are those who will try to sell such coins for $50 citing the fact that they are interesting historical mementos of a time 1700 years ago.&nbsp; Others will point out that there are a million of the things including thousands that look better than this one and not all that many people wanting them.&nbsp; What is the &#039;value&#039;?&nbsp; I&#039;d buy a bunch at 50 cents and very few at $5 but value is not set by only one collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
