After viewing and listening to your wonderful video I would probably go for the Provincial coins They resembles in philately the infrequent local posts that sprouted for a few years or decades - basically you paid a cheaper service have mail brought to the government post office These local posts would have designs featuring the attractions and history of that area The difference of course is scale - local posts produced far less stamps than the government post office so you have a higher chance to get a scarcity or rarity it seems than with some Provisional coinage And the local post stamp issues do tend to be like postcards of the local area as the Provisional coinage would do in its designs SO quite interesting affinities there Comment from : @chrissahar2014 |

I prefer Indian coins, Western Satraps, Gadhaiya Paisa, Nagas of Narwar, Sultans of Sind, Delhi Sultans, Bull and Horseman coins are nice and cheap In China, Wu Shu and Song Dynasty coins are the easiest to get Comment from : @Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes |

hi guys, my friend found some ancient Illyrian Albanian coins, daring back over 3500 years, claimed to be much older than roman coins, they are in good condition from both sides, with portrait of king of Illyria Agron son of Pleuratus, also another one Queen Teuta and Alexander the great, can he be rich by selling those coins ? nice video Comment from : @wonderofnature7817 |

I just bought my first ancient coin (Constantine I with Sol Invictus on reverse minted in Trier) and it got me thinking…how did this survive till now? Were most of these in hoards that survived untouched till now? Were they buried? And finally…do you have a video about that? Thanks for the great channel! Comment from : @erickoraganie8705 |

Motivating! I just bought Thrace Chersonesus Silver Hemidrachm Lion (400-350 BC) VG-XF for $100 We'll see what I get I want to hold something 2,300 years old in my hand I might make it my daily carry coin (currently a 1923 Peace Dollar) I can imagine some Greek kid, just discovering the value, clutching it in his hand, headed for the nearest store that sells sweets Comment from : @estern001 |

I recently got my first ancients I won three lots of about 50 coins each, 2 mixed imperial and one of Ae3&4 late roman bronzes that included some Aurelian and Julian coins, my two favorite emperors from that period brbrI’ve had a lot of fun identifying them There were some difficult/interesting ones like an Augustus from Corinth I got a sestertius of Trajan and Hadrian I’ve decided to work on a sestertius set of the 5 good emperors, just ordered a Marcus Aurelius, so now just Nerva and Pius brbrYour channel has been a big inspiration, I’ve been watching for about a year because of my interest in Roman history Now I’m already hooked Comment from : @Diogenes_43 |

My father got me a nice silver denarius of Hadrian for Christmas RIC 724 From my untrained eye and your videos it seems legit I was surprised by how small it was and by how much the head protrudes from the flat part of the coin Comment from : @griffinblades8475 |

I have several silver Roman coins some in excellent shape, some not so much I don't remember the names of them but a few are only worth a couple of dollars and a couple are worth a couple of thousand in early 2000's money, when I last checked them out Comment from : @Gator-357 |

The Classical World Romans could do a lot of things better than the contemporary Qin and Han dynasty Chinese But a mystery is why the Romans couldn't produce fine, molded, uniform coins like the Chinese could The Chinese were capable of minting uniform-size, quality copper coins for a thousand yearsbrBy contrast, every Roman Empire silver denarius coin, despite the ingenious designs and artwork on both sides, were not uniform circular but rough and odd shaped You would have thought the Classical World Romans could do far better minting, neat, circular, uniform-sized coins Historians know that the Roman Republic and the later Empire were under constant pressure to mint as many coins as possible; the demand for coinage currency was insatiable and infinite The Romans had to pay the regular salaries of their ever-growing legionary and auxiliary armies As the centuries moved on, emperors had to pay their soldiers increasing salaries to buy the loyalty of the legions and keep pace with inflationbrBut even from an early stage that started with Marc Antony, and possibly even earlier, some Roman warlord generals and later emperors out of necessity or desperation to create more coins with lesser supplies of silver, started debasing denarii with lead This created a vicious cycle of debased denarii coinage leading to inflation and consequently higher and higher demand for coinage to make up for the inflation Comment from : @jeffyoung60 |

A small note on the Indian coinage: it would probably be more 'diplomatic' to say that Indian coinage originated in the 4th century BCE at the latest Maybe earlier, but we don't have enough evidence to push it past the 4th-5th century BCE brbrAlso, the Nahapana drachms are now dated to circa the 3rd quarter of the 1st century CE, as it is no longer believed that Nahapana's inscriptions date to the Saka era, so his reign ended by 89 CE at the latest and more likely at or around the start of the Saka era in 78 CE This also fits with his coins being overstruck by the Indo-Parthian Sases, whose coins are subsequently overstruck by the Kushan ruler Soter Megas/Vima TaktobrbrHope this helps Love your videos Happy holidays!

What does it mean for a coin to be cast vs struck? Can you do a video on that Comment from : @foreverraining1522 |

I would only add that there are some incredibly affordable medals, tokens and modern coins out there Royal French, Holy Roman Empire, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian, of exceptional beauty are completely ignored The new Napoleon movie reignited the interest in them but otherwise, i am surprised that they are STILL affordable Comment from : @stroedani |

Hunnic coins are also nice underrated asf, probably the most varied portraits of any empire to be honest, but the term itself is a blanket term for like 50 different groups Still very cool though Comment from : @thelordofnuggets629 |

Roman provincials are slept on so much! brbr2 months ago I picked up a bronze provincial CALIGULA with his face on it for under 100 Just goes to show you can get some crazy things that you’d never be able afford in official imperial issues Comment from : @Belowbluewaterdiver |

Great video- I think this will really help some people Given the incredible range of prices for ancient coins especially, seeing that decent ones can be had for low-ish cost to start with or to still have fun when your budget isn't huge is wonderful Little Greek Obols, for example, I find really attractive- the fact that anyone was able to engrave such tiny figures of such wonderful detail sometimes is incredible I only have one so far, but I will hopefully have many more in the future And you reminded me about the Sassanians- I'd kind of forgotten their coinage in the wake of the incredible beauty of classical Greek coins, so thanks for showing those again so I can be sure I don't forget again ;) Comment from : @mattl3729 |

Personally I had collected with a very limited budget when I was younger but I still have a few rare pieces All I had to do was save up for a few months and be extremely patient and careful with what I bought With enough time, most people could afford solidi or beautiful tetradrachms When there’s a coin you want, there’s a way… Comment from : @hridgreximp6194 |

Some decades ago back in Europe I started a small collection of roman coins As I live in Chile right now nearly the only way here to get some afordable coins is via e-bay Unfortunately the quantity of fakes has increased along with their quailty and it is a bit risky to buy cois that way but sometimes you can find a bargain Also the fomerly very cheap 4th century coins have risen a lot during the last years, at least when you see them classified and attributed buy some larger dealer So I spend quite some time looking through the non assigned coins or coins from new sellers wh tend o have lower prices and shif throug the different marketplaces from USA with GB, France, Germany or Spain as each one has apparently different preferences and price tags From the first century the Quadrans of Claudius seems to be among the most affordable selling in some occasions with a reasonable quality for some 10 - 20 Eur, especially from Spain In Germany prices for provincial coins seem lowest and from France (little surprisingly) those from the Roman-Gaule empire I hope to fech next year an Antoninianus of Marius that I have seen in some occasions for just under 100 Eur in that market Comment from : @klausbiegerfaccsnaturale1392 |

Always good and thoughtful advice This is my favorite ancient numismatic channel Comment from : @stephenparker4083 |

My two cents, auctions and uncleaned coins brbrI would recommend that everyone get into auctions You can find great coins for under $100 A goodway to go about this is looking for the less expensive auction houses There you can often find denarii that are selling for under 100 or even under 50 euros I got a great Antoninus Pius denarius for 40 euros this year Just make sure the auction is reputablebrbrThe other way to get coins for a budget is through cleaning coins This won't be for everyone as it requires patience but you should at least try it! Reputable dealers most often have $3-5 coins that will most often be debased antoniniani or 4th century bronzes Steer clear of eBay Clean with a toothpick and distilled water and take your time! Sometimes you get absurdly lucky such as the extremely fine denarius of Commodus I found this year! Comment from : @nathanielscreativecollecti6392 |

This is really the true coin collecting world Of course there are ppl with amazing coins and multiple gold peices Me I usually only can do 100 every 2 weeks The fact that I can't just grab whatever I want makes my collection more enjoyable I will be more excited than the ppl who have so many that even getting a gold Solidus only gives a mild excitement Coin collecting is like our own little club, no matter the amount you have love your collection Ty again for all your great videos and for being a mentor of sorts to some of us Comment from : @christopherevans2445 |

4:30 these silver double dirhams of the Eretnids (Turkish "Muluk al-Tawaif") from Anatolia, with "Allah" both as a countermark and as a "pseudo-countermark", all very scarce, have become quite plentiful in the current market in these last 2 years as a huge hoard has been dispersed by a well known German auction house Comment from : @Numischannel |
