Some nice Romans

Hi guys, dug these yesterday and thought I'd share them . I found 6 but these 3 are the best.

Wow, that was hundreds of years before anything I could possibly find. Congratulations! Curious how deep something like those were?

Found 6 Romans depths were 3 to 8 inches. Was on a ploughed field so that helps keep them nearer to surface.

Somewhat true taken as a whole, but if I had to guess which would come up nice it would include those 3 & the globe on alter type. So they are a common type to come up nice, & we think it was the quality of the bronze used for those coins.

Agree, the quality of the bronze was very good on these coins. They come up better than others here too. But looking at these, both sides fine, very little rim damage and nicely centered, they really stand out.

Those Germans in Trier, seem to be quality minters as that's where all 3 were minted.

Congrats. Grid that area until a Silver pops up.

Trier is known for his high quality coins. Way better than coins minted in other provinces and some even beat the Rome and Constantinople mint.
