If you do want to collect them all, it might take you several hundred years. Ancient coins were minted all over the world from about 600 BC- what ever the cut off is, fall of western Rome 476 AD or the fall of Eastern Rome 1453 AD, or some other arbitrary date before &quot;milled&quot; (machine made) coinage c 1560&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would avoid uncleaned lots, 99.9 % have been picked over and you will find nothing of value.
