Studying ancient coins is quite the undertaking! The amount of history and variety of origins makes it a life long study. I have slowly been tip toeing my way into the market. Similar to any other collectible. Once your able to hold a nice example in your hand. The fire with in is ignited!
I intend to highlight some of the ancient coins I have been buying. I will include the known history. Atleast what is best to my knowledge. I am green to the market. That doesn't mean I can't share the information I have in hand.
Personally, I have noticed a dramatic spike in price and demand for ancient coins over the past couple years. Collectibles like this that will not be recreated. Hold a fair chance at appreciating over time. Diversity is key for any investor. This might be an overlooked market with huge potential ahead. .

This coin came in today from my dealer in New York. It is the nicest ancient coin I have aquired yet. The strike and surface on this example is outstanding. I would argue this could be graded XF with a star designation. The colors seen in the photos are an exact replication of what it looks like in hand. So far its been a great experience hunting and learning about these coins.
