- Was excited to have purchased these items... or more realistically have had one of my coin buyers come up with a big purchase... and now it's time to look through and see what we've got. There is a nice mix of Byzantine, Greek, Judaean, Indo-Skythian, Roman, Barbaric, and other older coins that span approximately 1000-2500 years ago. Definitely fortunate to have access to this great range of high-end coins... looking forward to offering these items for sale!

Thanks for sharing with us the opening of these coins ... excited to see some of these come to auction. I will be trying for a few of the silver coins.
Thanks for watching! They are neat!
You need to take your time man. Dont rush through them
Awesome purchase. I saw a lot of interesting Roman antique items in the 30,-/ 50,- $ range like denarii, tetradrachms and also some Greek stuff, so it´s just a body count to get a realistic retail value out of this lot. Well done, Christian, keep it up ! 👍Greets from GER, U.
Thanks Uwe!! I think it'll be close!
I'm. A large collector of ancient coins and artifacts. You could get a lot of high quality ancient coins. Greek silver, ATG , crusader silver etc for . 5k. COA slabbed. Constantine bronze go for $2 .Most common ancient coin. Nabatean pa.crusader coins are very hot now
i love me some ancients! Enjoy :)
Very cool.
I would love to see them all put into a book in year order...
That would be sweet!
A nice, interesting lot with a few scarcer items. And nice condition for the most part. NB: for the counterstamped coins, the condition of the underlying coin is pretty irrelevant. It's the condition and rarity of the counterstamp that's important. Hope you show a profit on this!
Great to know - had no idea on that front! It's a good learning lesson and hey.. always fun to unbox and sell coins!
Nice variety. Some cool early Roman emperors. Hope you all at least break even on it!
I hope so too! Thanks BSH!
You ripped these People off. Taking advantage of a loved one's collection.
capitalism isn't a charity...seems like he took a risk, not knowing what was included
Does not justify ripping people off. That gives the hobby,/profession a bad name.
What’s the estimated value of you breaking the coins down and selling them individually????
Unclear. Versus $5K, would imagine that I'd land anywhere in the $4500-$7000 range, but the effort involved will likely be a bit much versus having focused on other items, if that makes sense
Fuiyoooh
I’m not an ancient guy but I am beginning to touch that field.. a lot of these are very sharp with beautiful surfaces the ones that aren’t suspect. Just the volume of this buy I would think you did well. At least a couple thousand quick then a few if you’re willing to wait
Thank you! I think it's a good mix! Though may take a while and a lot of effort to do
YEAH as interesting as these are, to spend 5k is abit offsetting to me, as a coin guy for the last 8 years. I would WAY have rather put 5K into Different 90% silver & look for errors/varieties or purchased multiple Dansco books & pic the hidden gems. Or look through buckets at LCS's for picks. But I can see the allure behind Ancients, but with allure also comes the facade of the coin hobby which ancents have the worst. Opinionsof 20-50$ coins which most likely are worth half of that. And ancient buyers who are going to want to "greysheet" every purchase. Coins are tough haha.
Great content man & keep working it!
I honestly think you overpaid to be honest. Alot of 10-15 dollar coins
That was my sense. Might make a few $ but won't be worth the effort.
