No, they’re not worth more as scrap — Roman bronze coins tend to fall to crap during their long burials. Perhaps because of the clay jugs protecting them, these appear to be in excellent shape.
907,184 grams in a ton. Half a ton of coins in this hoard. That is 453,592 grams. Approximate weight of each coin = 4 grams. That's about 113,398 Roman coins in this hoard.
Based on the example coin shown in one of the photos (Constantius Chlorus - father of Constantine the Great) and it's condition, the value of each coin on the collector's market would be roughly $50.
$50 x 113,398 coins is $5,669,900. That's a little better than scrap.
