Question
i was wondering how to tell if i have real ancient roman coins or if they are reproductions? They have glue marks on the back which makes me think they are fake, but they also look very worn down. thank you for you time.

Answer
Hi Torii,

There are ancient coins that are so common they are worth only a few dollars.
The coin would have to be physically inspected which I can not do for you.  Fins a local dealer and show it to him
