ancient roman silver and gold

I FIRST WANT TO SAY I HAVE NOTHING 2 DO WITH THE SALES ADDS TO THE RIGHT OF THIS PAGE
please dont fall for the GOLD FOUND AND SILVER FOUND CLAIMS that the sellers of ancient coins use to bait buyers especally when the seller has silver coins for sale seperatley in thier store.ill tell you how its done:they(the seller) buy anywhere from 1000 on up uncleaned coins at a time from people in europe or wherever they keep the coins that have detail or look good then sell the rest at twice what they paid in a “TREASURE HUNT” to you. that way they buy more coins and so on and so on you get the idea. thats not to say they are all like this but lets be real huh?they are the ones on the treasure hunt not you,would you let a coin of great value pass you buy?i didnt think so.if your looking for a gold or silver roman coin do search for ancient roman silver coins and buy one you can see.there are dealers who have em at resonable prices,selinoscoins is one of the best i think ive come across.they have lots of different emperors and some of them look like they were made yesterday . there are others too so keep an eye open.
gold is another story,it dosnt rust corrode or tarnish so when these coins are found in digs they stick out like a sore thumb and are quickly scooped by the diggers,do a search for ancient roman gold or gold stater or solidus and you will see coins for sale that are in pakistan or lebanon or somewhere else there digging up these coins,so dont be a dummy go with what you know,and that is everybody loves gold and nobody gives it away
hope this helps
