Roman Coins For Sale

 admin

The coins of the Roman Empire began with the first Emperor Augustus in 41 BC. The main coins were the Silver Denarius and the Bronze As. These splendid Ancient Silver coins and Bronze coins were de-based over the years, and in 215 AD the double Denarius, named Antoninianus, was issued. Coins of the Ancient Roman empire can vary widely in price and quality, offering collectors lots of options. All coins offered by Austin Rare Coins & Bullion are certified and graded by NGC Ancients.

Different coin types attract different personalities. While Greek coins fascinate collectors drawn to their artistic merit, Roman Imperial issues attract those who prize their realistic and imposing portraits of emperors and their families. Persian coins have special meaning to collectors interested in the culture and religion of ancient Iran, and the successors of Alexander issued unusual and attractive Indo-Greek coins in Southwest Asia. Ancient coins were struck in many metals: gold, silver, electrum (a natural gold-silver alloy), brass, bronze, billon (debased silver), potin, lead and even nickel. Although ancient gold can be expensive, some issues (notably those of the Byzantine Empire) are very reasonably priced. Silver coins are normally well preserved, however bronze coins often circulated for long periods and many examples show considerable wear, as well as the effects of natural chemical changes.

Biblical coins offer special attractions to those interested in early Christianity or ancient Jewish culture. Such collectors may seek a 'Tribute Penny' denarius, a 'Widow's Mite' lepton, a 'Thirty Pieces of Silver' shekel or coins of Herod and Pontius Pilate. All these may best be appreciated when presented in their historical context -- the special theme of Classical Coins.
Numismatic literature, in addition to the importance of its content, is a significant collecting subject. The elegant engraved illustrations of Greek and Roman coins in early numismatic books are treasured today by collectors. Classical Coins offers a wide selection of numismatic books, monographs, sale catalogues and other references. These can be good investments, since they recently have been appreciating even faster than the coins they describe.
