Ancient Roman Coins

Coins from the Roman Empire have proven themselves to stand the test of time and they are incredibly popular and highly sought after today. If holding a piece of history in your hands sounds appealing, keep in mind that many of these coins were produced thousands of years ago. Each coin is unique and you’re sure to find something that catches your eye.

Having plenty of options is a wonderful thing because we offer a number of coins in varying prices and levels of quality, ensuring that there is something ideal for anyone. Whether it’s a silver denarius or a gold aureus, ancient Roman coins are a great choice. These high-end ancient coins have been graded and certified which means that you know exactly what you’re getting.

Ancient Greek Coins

From Athenian Silver Owls to silver shekels, Ancient Greek coins are another great way to give a piece of history as a gift this holiday season. We are proud to offer the finest ancient coins because it’s such a fascinating area of the coin market.

By specializing in quality coins that have been graded and certified by NGC, we offer our clients coins that have stood the test of time. Some of the most artistically advanced coins in the history of the world, coins from Greece offer a wide variety of unique styles.

Coins struck during this timeframe are a tangible reminder of such an interesting time in human history. The intricacy of the designs these coins offers is a testament to the quality of human craftsmanship that has been around for many years.

Shipwreck Coins

Recovered from the wreckage of ships that were lost at sea, shipwreck coins are a wholly unique experience within the coin market. Among the most popular of these coins that we currently offer, pieces from the “Ship of Gold” (also known by its formal name, the S.S. Central America) have proven to hold a unique place in collections of all types.

If an exciting history and an amazing backstory are important to you when selecting a coin to give as a gift, shipwreck coins might just be the perfect option. Sunken treasure is the perfect gift for pretty much anyone out there, but you’ll have to act fast because the quantities we have left are limited and we are one of the few dealers who still has access to some of these fractional gold coins.
