Im considering getting into ancient coin collecting Thinking roman atm but in no hurry to make a decision; wanna learn more firstbrbrMy "issue" atm is the cheaper end of market are just not pretty enough to bother with I want to be able to see the design / legend clearly and prefer silver brbrI've browsed through a couple of online sites for coins and the 1s that catch my eye seem to be in the $200 plus range I dont have a lot of disposable income and getting a collection would be a slow process on my budget , which makes me wonder is it worth starting down that rdbrbrIm not looking at it as an investment per se, more about the beauty of the coins and their agebrbrbrI'm not really sure what im askingbrSome feedback i sposebr Is there a particular region/ era of coins that would fit my critera at a lower price? brbrI'll point out , so far ive only seen the coins online , looking at the real thing , feeling its weight etc might overcome the "its not pretty enough " thingbrbrP s No 9 of this vid is very cool

I didn't buy a lot of coins in 2022, but I did manage to get my first orichalcum sestertius and it happens to be of one of my favorite emperors, Marcus Aurelius, so that was a nice way to kill two birds with one stone! It's a nice thick coin that weighs about 26 grams and even though it's weathered and has a gF grade (which helped make this denomination more affordable for me) it still has this lovely portrait of Marcus which caught my eye and am happy to have in my collection

My best coin this year was nothing visually special but was very special to me, I had bought a lot of some old coins for cheap and just needed some cleaning, just bronze and copper By best friend from college i haven;t seen in 6 years is Greek and her family comes straight from Greece, back story done; I was cleaning them and chatting with my greek friend as she is going through her PhD up in Philly and was having surgery, i said once I get a good one I would clean it for her and mail it because she loves history and science just as much as I do I ended up taking two months to clean this coin for her as a gift, I had said it was Roman era and she was still stoked, come to find out the coin was made about 40-60AD and was minted in Phillipi, turns out her family can trace back to biblical times living and originating right oustide Phillippi and her dad was born right outside, very serendipidous and meant to be Kind of cool holding a coin in your hand that mightve been a few miles away from St Paul or even handle by an apostle

Comment from : @patm7453

If someone has time, I have a couple of questions about my only Roman coin that I got some years ago It is a coin of Diocletian, apparently an antoninianus, so not very valuable, but it is in a pretty nice shape, with some silvering still visible The obverse features a well preserved bust of Diocletian facing right and wearing a radiate crown The text reads IMP CC VAL DIOCLETIANVS PF AUG I know the meaning of most of that, and pretty sure that VAL means Valerius, but the double C I'm not sure about at all I figured that one C must mean CAESAR, but what about the other one? brThe reverse features Diocletian receiving Victoria from Jupiter and reads CONCORDIA MILITVM It also has the usual XXI and also the letter H I tried to see what this H means, and according to some website it might mean that it was minted in Heraclea Is this correct? The info I got when receiving it read "Antioch mint, RIC V 322"

Comment from : @caracallaavg

My favorite (and most costly) acquistions this year are: br1) Solidus of Basiliscus (scare emperor) from the Mare Nostrum Hoard, meaning it has been on the bottom of Mediterranean sea for around 1450 years!br2) tremissis of Zeno, struck under Odoacer in Italy after the fall of the Western empirebr3) a semi-decent denarius of Didius Julianus, who ruled only 66 daysbrbrHappy new year, and may Fortuna shine on us all :-) But most of all, let Pax bring us peace!

I got several cool coins in 2022, probably the rarest and my favorite pick up is the 1865 Half Dime (I made a video of it) it’s a very scarce coin and I find it pleasing to look at

Comment from : @jrbcnchz

I’ve got my first ancient silver this year, a septimius denarius 😁 as well as a small horde of Russian wire coinage I would love for you to make a video on the medieval Russian hammered silver dengas, there’s hardly any footage on YouTube about them, and I can’t think of a channel more fitting for a comprehensive video on the subject

The metal quality of that Valerian ant is something remarkable This is his first issue from the mint of Rome, about August 253 AD

Comment from : @CroMagnon123

This is my first year collecting! It's hard to pick a favorite I cleaned a Gallienus with near perfect silvering despite the debasement, a beautiful as of Hadrian, and a common Antoninionus of Probus but with a stunning ox blood patina
Comment from : @nathanielscreativecollecti6392

I started out collecting again in my 70's having given up collecting at the end of my teens I started with a beautiful sestertius of Hadrian It was pricey, but in very good condition and a beautiful portrait
Comment from : @stephenparker4083

My favourite I think is my first silver denarius of Antonius Pius
Comment from : @woody3066

This year was the one were my collection expanded thricefold, yet my favourite was no doubt an aspron trachea from Alexios III with St Constantine
