Probably the only people collecting Roman provincials were working class people who couldn&#039;t afford the official imperial coinage that was seen as more desirable by wealthy collectors. It wasn&#039;t until the last few decades that these coins have become highly collectable...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]950810[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]950813[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]950815[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=10103]@green18[/USER] , I suspect even working class people collected coins back then. Perhaps they didn&#039;t have much in the way of Roman or Greek coins, but suveneir coins of all types in base metals such as copper and bronze seem to have been popular enough in the 1700&#039;s and 1800&#039;s to have been minted in pretty large numbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
