Thread: ROMAN COINS PRIZE FOR FIND OF YEAR

    ROMAN COINS PRIZE FOR FIND OF YEAR

    I won the find of the year for one of my 1789 George Washinton Inaugural buttons.
    the prize came today and whoa! some old roman coins and some foreign odds n ends.no clue what these are and what they date to ?
    a forum member from overseas donated them and were dug.
    any roman coin experts here? would really love some identification on these.
    thanks for lookin!
    Dave
