A Few of Our Favorite Ancient Coins

Croesus Silver Full Stater

If you’re looking for a museum-quality coin, the Croesus Silver Full Stater might just be the perfect way to go. Perhaps most interestingly, this coin is the first silver coin struck in human history and this one in particular is one of the most beautiful examples we’ve come across in our nearly three decades in business. In many instances, less attractive examples demand a high price tag; this particular ancient coin is in amazing shape and we believe that it could be the highlight of your entire collection.

Ionia Electrum ⅙ Stater

Struck nearly 2,500 years ago, the Ionia Electrum ⅙ Stater depicts a Corinthian soldier and its unique shape provides quite a bit of visual appeal. This rare coin is truly something to behold and it is in amazing shape for its age. It would make a fine addition to any collection.

Artaxerxes Gold Daric

The Artaxerxes Gold Daric is another beautifully struck ancient coin and it’s sure to catch your eye. It is in mint condition and the unique yellow gold color is incredibly captivating to behold. However you look at it, being able to have a piece of history like this in your collection is sure to put a smile on your face.

Roman Silver Double-Denarius

One of our favorite coins for those who are budget conscious is this Roman Silver Double-Denarius in Mint State. A double-denarius--appropriately named because it is double the size of a standard denarius--like this one is a thing to behold because of its mint condition. We recommend these coins to anyone looking to get a start in the ancient coin market due to its price and visual appeal. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to round out a collection, this coin makes an excellent choice.

Diocletian BI Nummus

Another coin for those on a budget is this wonderful BI Nummus which features the image of Diocletian, a Roman emperor who worked his way up the military and ending the Crisis of the Third Century. If you’re looking to build a collection from the ground up, this is a great way to get things started on the right foot.
