what are coins like that worth
 

towards the end of the roman period senators were paid 1.9 million siler coins per month. Since there were no banks a hole was dug and the coins were dumped in. The later ones are relatively common and there a many deals for dug roman coins you can clean them yourself on ebay. Silver coins and gold coins from the roman period are worth much more. One of the major dealers is Pegasus. Don't know if they have a website but their catalog will make you drool. siegfried schlagrule
 

thnx thats pretty cool
 

there not worth a great deal really, poss 2 of them would fetch $80 on ebay ,but there not from a buried hoard , i think the area was used as a market,because i also find lead weights, true gold and silver are the ones to find ,but this is true with all coins.
 

2nd Row middle coin dupondius of Augustus (your oldest)
Moneyers series RIC 347
27bc-14ad
 

Now WHICH exactly would be a "bad" roman coin???
You are kidding, right.
