My Romania > Ancient Roman Coins

[Geocities.com] Some 'low-cost' coins can be fakes or have no numismatic value to them whatsoever. Do not think that just because you may have found a source for these coins or opportunity to buy cheaply that you have stumbled onto a "bargain." There are a lot of fakes and "junk" coins out there and you CAN buy these coins inexpensively, but many of these 'cheap' coins of less than $10.00 each are generally worthless if they cannot be identified by any means.

Suetonius says "because he was somewhat bald, he wore a kind of peruke, so exactly fitted to his head, that nobody could have known it for such" but it's hard to imagine that anyone seeing this coin was fooled.
