Ancient Roman Silver Denarius...now with Pictures

[Calidream'n]

Hi all. I am actually from the comics side of this forum, but I happen to have a silver denarius I bought on impulse last time I was in Italy. I think that now I would much rather have the money to buy some more books, so I am trying to see if someone here might be interested.

On the card that came with it, it says; Rep. Romana

Domiziano 81-96 A.C.

I know that it is of Emperor Domiziano and it is in really nice shape. I paid 90 Euro for it (roughly $135.00) 5 years ago. Not looking to make a profit, just break even.

I have multiple transactions and great feedback on the Comics Forum.

Ok, I finally got a few pictures that I think are decent. This denarius is just slightly bigger than an American dime.

Added a couple of pictures. Sorry the scanner cuts off a little of the coin no matter what I do.

Offers? Too modern for this group? It's almost 2,000 years old coinees!

Thats a nice coin, and you got it at a good price. Not to mention the price of silver now compared to then.

Not sure what the price of silver has to do with a coin the size of a dime.

He is referring to the comment about the price of silver which in the case of this coin would have no barring on the value of the coin (thumbs u

Silver value is about 3 bucks

Fair enough. I'm asking $135.00 for $3.00 in silver and $132.00 for 1,925 years of history. Offers? Anyone? Hello?
