With that kind of money in the basement the theater never should’ve had to close in the first place

Roman gold coins discovered in Italian theatre

Boy, and I thought that you needed a lot of money now to go to the theater and pay for popcorn and a drink!

I wonder if the value of these is numismatic or just the gold itself? I inherited a collection of ancient coins from my gradfather in the 80s. I was excited and figured silver coins that were 2000 years old had to be worth a fortune. It turns out that, with a few exceptions, they are worth less than a middling silver dollar from a bad year. Supply and demand, there just aren't that many people who collect these things so even though the supply isn't tremendous, it's sufficient to readily meet the demand.

Pristine gold coins though are surely more prized. Even museums might want them. We might get lucky and see these coins preserved as coins rather then turned into gold bricks.
