There is a shop on The Shambles in York with a wide selection of Roman coins from mainly - I think - the third and fourth centuries. I can get the name and number shortly and will obviously post the details if that is any help for you. That wouold be great thanks. The shop is a retail outlet of Spinks - http://www.spink.com/home_page/index.asp - and I would suggest that you give them a call on 01904 654769, firstly checking that you are talking to the shop and not the auctioneers. I am sure that, if my memory serves, they had a wide selection including some at quite reasonable costs.

I am trying to find a genuine Roman coin, (any denomination), that will not cost the earth. This is for my wife's birthday, any help advice etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well to begin with, you might want to open a topic in the market section - it'll hopefully attract more attention there. Secondly, if you really decide to by a coin, be very careful. There are many many frauds on the market (or that is at least what I hear) Thanks for that, I'm new to the site and just trying to find my way around, I'll get there in the end, hopefully!
