Ben The Coin Geek
Old Pueblo Coin
The ancient coin market is not as sensitive to third-party certification as modern coins. After all, these coins have been collected for centuries, and ancients collectors tend to be indifferent to third-party services, or even hostile to it in rare cases. Generally, if the coin can be pedigreed to a known collection or established dealer (a few coins from Harlan J. Berk in Chicago appear in this video), authenticity is not a worry. That said, for the exceptionally rare coins NGC or ANACS certification can be an added layer of assurance.
Hi Ben
Is this gonna be on the test?
Antoninianus is a denomination put into effect by Marcus Antonius aka Carcalla. They were supped to be worth twice the amount than a denari, but it was basically a scam by carcalla to usually only use one and half times of amount of silver instead of twice the amount.
2003!? Wow, those really are ancient.
I liked Lurilla and the last Caracalla quite a bit, both are very nice
Comments down below.
Great assortment of Roman Imperial coins. The Gallienus Antoninian is an interesting one. Maybe this coin is fully silver plated which is a rare conditon, or this is a very early one (around 253/55) with a solid silver content. Anyways, very informative and entertaining , thanks for taking us along ! Happy Easter to you nd your family ! 🐤🐥🐣 Greets from GER, U.
P.S. Double denarius and Antoninianus are two different terms for the same meaning (value of two denarii).
Just leaving a comment here.Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Ben. I bought my copy of Van Meter at OPC, 20+ years ago. My ancients focus is on the Severan Dynasty, the Gallic Empire, short lived emperors and some early republic coins. Great video btw.
Very cool!
So fun, I have the same book I was looking up the coins as well. Take care.
I also collect Roman empresses and princesses in general and Lucilla in particular. It’s a great way to collect Roman because the women both scarcer and less expensive. It also allows focus on what it is a truly overwhelming series. I’d also recommend the 5 volume set by David Sear for identifying Romans. Finally, I don’t have that particular Lucilla type so IF you decide to sell it please me know.
Just bought one of your Roman coins, One of these days will get some older Greek coins.🙂😀
Double denarii bacame antoninianus under reign of Caracalla. All seem to have that radiate crown.
How do you clean the coins from green stuff from the soft flips ?
Did anyone buy the Trajan? Not seeing it on either site
Hi Ben. I'm an ancient. Worn down. Need conservation. Old enough to know better. *>>>------------>* 🦉
Nice. Diamond Bar, CA. Not too far from me. Ill have to buy that one. Do the coins come with the dealer cards?
If we still have them- some got removed :(
By the way, David Van Meter book is not cheap 🤑😃 I seem to want to spend more money so I've become interested in ancient coins along with my Morgan fascination..i figured I should get a copy.
Number #4 🤗😁
Antonuni who ? 🤗😆 Yes, I heard this from your interview recently, sorry but had to 😁
Howdy
Hey Ben
Plautilla was Caracalla's 2nd cousin,he eventually killed her.Nice family
And wife. Her father tried to have too much power and Septimius severus, carcallas father, had her, her father and brother killed.
Too hard for me to keep up on this ancients. Hard to keep up with US coins.. I want to purchase 1964 Kennedy half dollar double die with hairs
I’m mean, when it’s Ladies night and the feelings right.. what else are ya gonna do? Js 👌 dang I’m getting old. Lol
I would not buy from ebay as a rule. There is some real ancient coins on there, but theres a lot of fakes. Id buy off v coins or fb groups 😊
