ROMAN SPECIAL 1 Silver Coins of the Roman Empire. I have recently acquired a group of silver coins from the glory
days of the Roman Empire. Most of these date to the 1st through early 3rd Centuries AD. Most of the earlier ones grade Fine to about Very Fine range while later ones are generally Very Fine. Most are denarii but I do have a few nice antoniniani. These are nicer than the previous batches and will go fast,
so order soon. While they last....$50; 2 different for $90

ROMAN SPECIAL 2 Late Roman Bronzes, ca AD260-400+. Coins of the later Roman emperors from Gallienus to Arcadius and Honorius and beyond, mostly Antoniniani, AE3 and AE4 size, but including an occassional centenionalis or follis now and then and grading FINE or better (no spectacular blazers or gems, just solid mid-grade coins). Great for beginning collectors with a small budget or for the younger ones who want to get as much variety as possible for their limited dollars. Also good for the dealer who wants to carry a few inexpensive coins. These are attributed as to ruler and reverse type and packaged in individual flips. I offer these while I can in lots of:
3 different....$15 ($5 each)
10 different....$50 ($5 each)
I also have some nicer examples of the same types as above, priced at:
3 different....$30 ($10 each)
10 different....$100 ($10 each)
The Order Form should be fixed now. Give it a try. If you encounter any problems please email your order or inquiry to me at gclark32@hughes.net
