Roman coins and star notes I have a friend that has seven Roman coins that are between AG and poor so you can hardly see any design. They're made of copper and they're each about as big as a dime. How much are they worth? Also, are star notes worth any more than face value?

Try here to get some sense of roman coin pricing. As with any numismatic price, the value changes with the scarcity and quality. http://www.classicalcoins.com/page131.html

Re: Roman coins and star notes Thanks. I'll try it. How about the star notes?

Re: Roman coins and star notes How about some more info about the Star note, like year, condition and denomination. A scan would also be helpful. Firenhole

Re: Roman coins and star notes Roman and Greek coins are in most cases Chinese coins and I wouldn`t pay more than metal scrap price for them (and then selling them to collectors).

Re: Roman coins and star notes Very poor condition Roman bronze coins are worth very little - I've seen them in bins for $3-5 each, or less in bulk online. The Roman empire was around for a LONG time and made a LOT of coins at a LOT of different mints. But if you want something thousands of years old for a few bucks, go for it! Or, I spent like $35 and got a very nice condition Roman silver coin, I find it much more enjoyable. I bought it through http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ . I like them a lot - they show you pics of the actual coin you will receive. I don't think star notes are worth much. They don't seem to be that rare. Maybe in perfect condition they're worth a little more than face value to the right person.

$3-5 is pretty good -- my friend got seven for $15. I found three star notes in circulation; I'm not officially collecting them.
