<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 453322, member: 6647&quot;]In partial answer to your question, there are many ancient coins that price cheaply for both reasons you propose. Roman copper coins, for example, were turned out by the millions with the help of very cheap labor. And while people collect them, many more people buy US coins, so there is a great difference in demand.&nbsp; And most are still buried somewhere.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know where you would begin and end with determining populations of certain ancient coins. No records exist, and virtually every coin is a variety unto itself due to the crude process of manufacture, speed of die breakdown, and the fact that dies were created by hand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People have different ideas on what is &#039;ancient&#039;. One possible division mark is in the general vicinity of the collapse of the Roman Empire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
