Here is a short guide to give the new collector an idea about collecting Ancient Greek and Roman coins . By Harlan Binkey2000 . Collecting since 2001 .
I am going to talk about ancient coins buying on ebay , ok well frist off look at the seller you need someone who can be trusted . I could name a few sellers who are good and just email me and ask . Ok so next you found the right seller now look at the coin , Look for good detail but don't think you gonna get some great looking coin for $5.00 but you can get a nice looking coin , if the coin looks to good to be true it is . I have seen so many fakes i could not count them all . Next make up your mind Greek or Roman but there is many more also i am just nameing two types of ancient coins , I like the BC era " Before Christ Jesus Christ was born " Hence BC , There is also the AD" After Jesus Christ" Then you must make up your mind , Bronze , Silver , Gold , the three are listed in order of price and rareness , Bronze being from $0.99 , to , $75.00 for some of the best , Silver being $50.00 ,to, $1000.00 , and Gold , $500.00 to $10.000 dollars . I have never seen a silver coin on ebay going for a grand but i have seen gold ones going for 4 or 5 grand . After all that and you seen the one you want go for it . Make sure to ask the seller questions about the coin . Harlan Binkey2000 . If you liked this guide or it helped you please vote YES . Thank You for your vote it counts .
