Best Answer

Roman coins can be purchased for a dollar or two on the low end (common types, poor condition) to tens of thousands of dollars on the high end.� It would really depend on type and condition - you would need to have a professional numismatist look at it to get an accurate valuation.

Whatever someone's willing to pay for it!

The price of an object relies on a number of factors;

  • How desirable it is
  • Its condition
  • Current market level

While Roman coins have value the actual current value of a Roman coin depends on these factors. For instance a Roman coin which was minted in vast quantites will be worth a few cents. One which is made of gold and was minted as a commemorative piece for an Emporer who only reigned for a short while would b far more desirable, rare and have a high market value.

Unless you can define the condition, & identification,of a Roman coin it cannot be accurately valued through a question here.

The most valuable was on display for the last several years in the British Museum. A Sestercius (Bronze) coin of Hadrian Btritanicus showing Hadrian speaking to the Roman army in Britain. Hadrian ordered the building of the Wall named Hadrian's Wall. A coin of incredible quality, as struck +/- 2'000 years ago. Value 1'500'000-2'000'000 GBP. Interesting it is both rarest Roman and British coin. The coin in the British Museum belongs to a private collector.

There are several factors that go into determining the value of an ancient coin. One, is the authenticity. However there is more to it than just being an ancient coin. The condition of the coin, (can your read the inscription clearly?), the metal in the coin, and the rarity of the coin are all considered in determining the value.

Your question cannot be answered unless an appraiser actually sees the coin. There are thousands of Roman coins out there and more are being unearthed. The value of a coin, Roman or other culture, depends upon the condition of the coin, the time it was struck, the amount of precious metal in the coin and the coin's rarity. An appraiser is the only one who can give you an accurate or close to accurate answer.

A lot more, since what the coins were actually made out of was what they were worth, whereas nowadays, coins are worthless, more of an I.O.U.

If you are talking about the past, coins were worth by how much silver was in each of them.

Why are 55BC roman coins so worthless?

They aren't worthless, but the vast majority of Roman coins are struck in bronze which isn't worth as much as gold or silver, many were struck for circulation and bronze deteriorates with time meaning that many of the coins are not in good condition after being dug up 2,000 some odd years later. All of these affects value.
