A stunning group! It's remarkable each of those cost under $100!

 

Great stuff, love the Tets and Philip Ses. best.

 

What a lovely group with plenty of bang for the buck! My favorite is the Cherson AE. I love the little Athens obol as well. The Panticapaeum is a beauty, and a steal at anything under $100, IMHO.

 

I vote Panticapaeum - awesome!

 

I love that Philip Sestertius!

 

Panticapaeum. That is beautiful color. All are great, but that's my favorite.

 

All nice coins but I really like the Panticapaeum the die engraving around Pan's hair, so deep it makes it almost look three dimentional.

 

Great group at good prices.
My favorite - the Pan / Griffin, wow!

 

I'm another for the Panticapaeum too. All are very nice though and were captured for very reasonable prices.

 

Awesome coins! I love how the patina one the Philip I sestertius make the portrait pop out.

 

i LOVE that cherson coin...that's awesome! hell, that's a great top 10 list period...never mind how much the coins cost.

 

WOW!! I'd love to own any of them, especially for under a $100.00 each!!

My immediate favorites are the coins of 'Philip' and 'Pan'----Incredible eye-appeal!!!

 

These are really nice! Could you give us one or more of the internet websites you found these

 

Yes. Nine were on eBay and one was from RomanCoinShop.com .

 

Congrats.. Coin Sniper. Cheers and Happy New Year 2017 with more superb coin under 100 Bucks.

 

congrats ...

 

Nice group! My favorite is the sestertius.

 

I can still remember when as a young child of 9 or 10, I first realized there were roman coins. I had what is probably the common thought most people have when they first gain this tidbit of info..."they must cost a fortune ." But my second thought was "someday in some way, I have to have one." I then filed that though away.

It took a few years, but by my mid teens I had purchased that Roman coin, then another, then another, you know how the story goes.

I have never stopped being amazed at the feeling of holding a 2000 year old coin in my hand and I have never stopped being amazed at what a wonderful bargain ancient coins are. For the amount of knowledge and pleasure they offer, they have got to be the best deal on earth!
