🔥 Ancient Coin Exhibit 3 🔥
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. .

Man that Constantine was a looker, lol. Nice ancient coin my friend.

So cool! What is the most common composition of ancient coins that you've seen in your early research? Is there much risk of forgery in ancient coins that you've seen compared to vintage silver bars? As always, thanks for sharing @silveringots!
There is an incredible amount of forgery in ancient coins. Due to the fact they are so old and rough. With so many different types of coins and conditions. The fakes tend to blend it. It's very important to buy from an experienced seller/collector. That is the best way to reduce the risk.
Good info... I think I'd avoid buying from ebay unless like you said they're an experienced seller or known collector. I'm sure learning to spot the fakes has got to be top priority when getting into this kind of investment. I watched a thing on TV about antique medals and was blown away by the detail in the fakes. I guess when there's money to be made, people will put effort into making their fakes look legit. You'll just have to put an equal amount of effort into spotting them.
@plaid well said on several points here. 👍
Beautiful!
