4:13 The important thing to remember is that the Romans made coins for around 700 years in multiple mints. Hundreds of millions of these things were made, and since the invention of the metal detector they're being dug up all the time. Unless you want a Nero, Julius Cesar, or other famous emperor, most of these coins are pretty cheap. Viewers should keep that in mind and avoid overpaying for coins.
Absolutely. I’m in the south of England, in an area that was near a major roman palace. Roman stuff is pretty plentiful here and always getting dug up.
Years ago, I found what turned out to be a 2500+ year-old Persian arrowhead in a Free pile. What was it worth? At the time, about $50. (a friend got it for Christmas.) The Persian army used them by the thousands. Was it ancient? Sure. Worth a lot? Nope.
Excellent information, so glad to watch another great example of your knowledge, Don. Some old stuff is very beautiful, I bet a lot of the gold buttons, buckles and others have been melted down into small gold bars. Glad to see you again. Charles in the UK
Excellent information, what everyone needs to remember is that age doesn't mean anything, and rare as well doesn't mean money. Rare with signatures on are more high value, adding age to that often means even more money. Lots of ancient stuff is found in very high volume over and over again and their value is next to nothing
Thank you! will you also talk about European buttons of WWII? Also, what to do when for every rare item there is a seller on ebay selling them for $5? What's the deal with these guys?

I've friends in Britian who've dug them up in their own back yards. Lower denominations are common and not worth a pile.

Always great help! Thank you for all the fantastic information
It’s so hard to sit and listen when my eyes are glued to the background 😂

I have a bunch of worthless Roman coins I’d like to turn into buttons! Then they’d be useful at least.
Love learning! TY Prof!
