About Us

RareAncientCoins.com helps collectors find rare and authentic ancient coins and artifacts.  With over 30 years of numismatic experience, we look for rarity and check for authenticity to make sure that each item offered for sale is special and genuine.  We have a large library of numismatic books and publications, which allows us to thoroughly research all items.  And we have some of the lowest prices on the internet for rare and authentic Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval and World coins and artifacts.

Our Philosophy and Approach

While many dealers and collectors focus solely on condition or eye appeal, we believe that rarity greatly affects collectibility and adds value.  Coins that are difficult to find on the current market get significantly higher prices.  Scarce and rare types, variants, cities/mints, persons, magistrates and symbols are actively sought out, and previously unpublished coins are highly prized, resulting in premium prices for special rarities.  Take a look at our article Rarity of Ancient Coins for discussion and some interesting examples.  We seek out the more scarce, rare and hard to find ancient coins on the market and offer them here at low prices.  Take advantage of our expertise by adding a rare ancient coin (guaranteed to be authentic) to your collection.
