Roman Coins....Real or Repros ?

[undertaker]

I was checking some coins out on ebay and came accross some roman coins listed. I see alot of them were dated from the early AD 200, 300 and some where even BC. I thought how cool it would be to own a coin from that time period. What surprised me were the extremly low prices sellers had on them. The prices were so low ...alot in this range( $4.00 to 20.00) it scared me into thinking that they might be repros. Why are they priced so cheap? Is it because there was a ton of them made, or maybe poor graphics or are there just alot of repros made that flooded the market. I collect arrowheads and their prices have been destoyed by repros that flooded the market. If they do make repros of roman coins how can you tell a real one from a fake?

There was a ton of them made.. you will get real ones, just don't expect anything rare, most will be constantine coins of one sort or another. some will be crude and some will never clean up good enough to identify. It is very cool to have a few of these... crazy to think about the history with them... wish I had a metal detector and lived over there!
