I read somewhere that Roman coins are not particularly valuable and there are nearly as many around today as during ancient times. I am sure some, such as this one are valuable of course. BTW he is a fairly handsome guy.

Some are. Some aren't.

See my post 84.

Late 3rd Century coins are very cheap. Earlier 3rd Century coins are a little more expensive, and much nicer looking, but still very cheap.

This particular one is priceless simply because of its historical rarity.

Go to eBay and type in "Antoninianus" into Search.

This Gordian III Antoninianus is nice.......And still cheap.

I think what I read must have been in error as it said something like "they are only worth a little more than when they were minted".

Thanks for the info.
