I’ve always wanted a few random coins (but authentic) from way back. I dunno why but thought it’d be best to have a bit of history I guess. Really just always searched Greek and Roman assume they have the most out there available now.

Also love a fun lightsaber on the mantle I’m not picky really, though the coins seem more interesting overall.

Well, the good news is that they made a lot of coinage. Random bronze or silver coins, especially if they’re not in the best of condition and with dubious provenance, are kind of cheap. The museum-grade stuff, that collectors really want to have, is quite fiercely bid over when it comes to market. And they never made a lot of gold coins - the value was impractical compared to the cost of goods and labour - so that shit’s expensive, yo. But if you’re wanting a few denarius to call your own, then ebay’s full of them.
