<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2337152, member: 44316&quot;]Here is an article on a small find in Wales:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/11/roman-coins-issued-by-mark-antony-found.html#.VrFs-DbR_ZQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/11/roman-coins-issued-by-mark-antony-found.html#.VrFs-DbR_ZQ" rel="nofollow">http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/11/roman-coins-issued-by-mark-antony-found.html#.VrFs-DbR_ZQ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It says the hoard had three denarii, but illustrates five and the small picture shows parts of maybe 20 from the group (91 coins, it says) and the visible ones are all denarii.</p><p>&quot;A numismatist described the three Roman denarii coins as &quot;worth tens of thousands of pounds&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best three of the five illustrated are together worth about $100--a bit short of &quot;tens of thousands of pounds.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it says &quot;A haul of valuable coins issued by Roman general Mark Antony&quot; when all the visible coins are second century AD--none look to be of Mark Antony.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why can&#039;t reporters get something right when it comes to coin hoards? The value figure is ridiculous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
