    Not cool . All those are looted / stolen . Those coins should be in a museum , in order to be seen by all . Not in a rich person collection

    11 months later I am just seeing this... 53,000 views, only 672 subscribers? Hmm? I guess I will be number 673 then! Excellent presentation! You have some extremely rare types in stunning condition. Even your more common types are so well centered, and of the highest artistic style as you mentioned. I see you posted a video on the coin with the swan, going there next! My passion is Biblical coins, and historical coins. Coins that tell stories-which they really do. I love the Athenian owl, the shield coins, and that tiny hemiobol with the Boar. I just acquired one of those to go with my athenian owl... I also think its an funny design-to me it looks like the tunny fish cut through the forepart of the boar! Thank you for the excellent presentation-well done!

    Love this! Thanks so much for sharing. Do you happen to have any rough sense of what some of these small coins are worth? Any thought are much appreciated.

    • @ancientcoincollector
      @ancientcoincollector Před 6 měsíci

      Well, it depends on rarity and condition of the coins - the small coins i have vary from approx 30 Dollar to 150 Dollar or even more. But i consider this still as cheap as there are many types beeing much more expensive than that. Thanks for your comment - encourages me to create more video content.

    • @engl9871
      @engl9871 Před 6 měsíci

      Thank you for your reply! I started collecting ancient Greek fractional coins but have a hard time getting a sense of their value. Your video was so fun and helpful! @@ancientcoincollector

    • @ancientcoincollector
      @ancientcoincollector Před 6 měsíci

      Well, to get a better sense of the prices for individual types you can for example use the site www.sixbid-coin-archive.com/ and search for past auctions and their prices or go to vcoins.com and check current dealers prices to get a feel for the price range of a certain type. The most important things that drive prices are the condition, the style (well designed or poor stylistic version) and rarity. Mostly the bigger the denomination is (stater, tetradrachm) the more expensive it gets.

    I would like to purchase a Roman coin from BCE in good condition, not as an investment but simply because I want to hold a piece of history. As I have no knowledge of ancient coins, I'm seeking guidance on the cheapest and most reliable way to find and purchase an authentic Roman silver coin in good condition. I want to ensure the coin's authenticity while keeping the cost reasonable. Your expertise and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • @ancientcoincollector
      @ancientcoincollector Před rokem

      Well, I can recommend you for example the platform Vcoins.com for ancient coins. Look for a denarius of Trajan or Hadrian for example as they are very common and not that pricy. The dealers there have high standards and give you a lifetime guarantee of the authenticity of the ancient coins they sell. If you prefer to buy at an auction, check out biddr.com and look for auction houses in your country to keep the shipping costs low depending on the price range you are willing to buy a coin for.

    • @ancientcoincollector
      @ancientcoincollector Před rokem

      Good point. But coins were struck by hand and in large quantity, so there was not the time to strike each coin perfectly, as mints having produced under time pressure as well. Though there are nearly perfect coins out there, they are just not so common depending on type and time period. Many roman coin issues were produced in good qulity regarding centering and flan forms.

    • @lenardd.8431
      @lenardd.8431 Před rokem

      @@ancientcoincollector I see, and I keep noticing that the lower the coin value, the more likely are the ones with less perfect centering when struck, and the precious iron coins have mostly portrayed a ruler or deity have a better coin centering and clarity of image
