Reply to comment by Goldblood4 in Discovery of bronzes rewrites Italy’s Etruscan-Roman history by VoloNoscere

Suppose I wanted a middling quality denarius from Septimius Severus, where would I go in North America to buy one and what would it set me back? Are there a large number of fakes floating about?

The best site for buying ancient coins is definitely vcoins.com

It's full of different stores from the USA and Europe. Look up what kind of coin you're looking for and you should be able to find an American store that supplies it.

Denarii can vary in price depending on how detailed it is and its rarity. You can find a great denarius for a great price if you look hard enough ;)

There's a whole subreddit dedicated to this stuff too r/ancientcoins

Many thanks. I think a few Roman coins would be very cool to have.

Look up some auctions too! You could get awesome deals on some neat coins. I got a Trajan sestertius celebrating his victory of Dacia for €70

Biddr.com is my recommended auction site.
