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.

Hard to imagine the clay jars didn't have a chance or two to fill with rainwater in all that time.

I’ll have to ask my husband about this. This is his hobby. He’s been studying this stuff for years.
