<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 25466503, member: 42034&quot;]I&#039;d say that many Roman gold coins are overpriced considering their rarity.

Unfortunately reflection from the glass made the coins too light but you can see them in the mirrored images.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1630141[/ATTACH]</p><p>Although Panzer doesn&#039;t specifically target bronze, he did manage to acquire a few late 3rd century folles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually all of these coins are shown in the Trier, Germany, museum collection.
