Very nice stuff fren, you live in the US? I'm not familiar with US prices, and i guess it must be more expensive there for obvious reasons, so i'd say you did good for all these denarii. I often see those ones selling for around 40€ over here on ebay in similar condition, but i live literally on top of an ancient roman camp. That's great you managed to score them at approx the same price than close to the source!

For the greek one i'm not familiar with this specific bronze, can you tell us more about it? You believe you got a good deal for it?

>yea is hard to believe coins that old could look that good.
We are talking about an empire who ruled for nearly 800 years over an incredibly vast territory and who did all their transactions in coinage for the entirety of this duration. It's impossible for our mind to envision.
So it's not that hard to believe when you think about it, and we will continue to find back 2000yo roman coins in great condition for the next millenia and there will still be more buried under the ground or at the bottom of the mediterranean sea.
Over here medieval & feudal coins are much more expensive than roman coins, they are more recent but no kingdom in Europe came even near close to the mint production capacity of the romans.
