  1. I am trying to find a genuine Roman coin, (any denomination), that will not cost the earth. This is for my wife's birthday, any help advice etc. would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

     

    There is a shop on The Shambles in York with a wide selection of Roman coins from mainly - I think - the third and fourth centuries. I can get the name and number shortly and will obviously post the details if that is any help for you.

     

    That wouold be great thanks.

     

    The shop is a retail outlet of Spinks - http://www.spink.com/home_page/index.asp - and I would suggest that you give them a call on 01904 654769, firstly checking that you are talking to the shop and not the auctioneers. I am sure that, if my memory serves, they had a wide selection including some at quite reasonable costs.

     

    Spinks are international auctioneers and browsing their website will give the impression that there is virtually nothing available for under

  3. On a sort of related topic, I'm looking for a genuine Roman coin that won't cost me the earth, my wife has always wanted one and I am going to try to get one for her birthday.

     

    Any advice, assistance, pointers would be greatly appreciated

     

    Well to begin with, you might want to open a topic in the market section - it'll hopefully attract more attention there.

     

    Secondly, if you really decide to by a coin, be very careful. There are many many frauds on the market (or that is at least what I hear)

     

    Thanks for that, I'm new to the site and just trying to find my way around, I'll get there in the end, hopefully!
