Roman Coin for my 10 Year Olds Birthday

[dicker]

Hello 

I wonder if anyone can help me.... My ten year old has asked for a Roman Coin for his birthday. 

I am of course very happy about this but being someone who buys 19c & 20c coins I  don’t know where to buy a nicely defined Roman coin.  I really don’t want to buy off of eBay because of all the usual issues.  

Can anyone recommend a place to buy from or does anyone have a genuine Roman Coin for sale?

many thanks

Theres me thinking they would only cost a few tenners 😁

There is a shop opposite the British Museum which specialises in ancient coins - I thin k it is Coincraft.  It may be expensive being in a tourist area though.

If you go for one with someone famous from the republic/early empire you'll pay a lot but the likes of constantine coins are much cheaper.
