I have old coin for sell
Comment from : @AShakurBisha

I love worn, "lowball" and countermarked ancients because it really shows the life they've lived and makes imagining the history that much easier "Quality" is in the eye of the beholder! Great video man

Comment from : @KarenKostanyan-do8hm

There are tons of cheap and wonderfull coins out there I personally dived into those coins and avoid any expensive coins I think that is the best way to start Once you are experienced you can focus on whatever catches your attention and you can start collecting the more expensive coins For reference cheap is < 15 USD Expensive is > 50 USD Keep your median entry price below 25 USD And with those price levels you can buy almost everything! Forget coin grading until you are experinced Also when you get experince Fakes will not be a big issue any more

example How did a sphinx end up on a coin in a city in the middle of Andalucia, Spain? Wellthe concept came from mesopotamia, traveled to the ports of Phoenicia The phoenicians were displaced by the Persians and founded Carthage And rhe Carthaginias conquered the south of Spain And the Carthaginean general Anibal Barca married a prnincess of this spanish city, named Castulo And Castulo started using a Sphinx on their coinage Am I right? Dont know for sure But this type of connections adds a lot to the fun of numismatics And there are tons of connections numismatist are able to establish by watching coinage patterns As I said, its a infinite journey and a lot of fun!

By studying naval architecture and commerce and ports you start understand how art, culture, power, etc moved around in the world
Comment from : @oscarkaltschmidt-tc2jc

I made a very steep entry in ancient numismatics and what helped me a lot to tie everything together was studying naval architecture Power, trade and coins are always related Who rules the seas and water ways has the power and rules commerce

can you tell me some good online sites for buying ancient coins?
Comment from : @ismailerhelvaci5505

I am obsessed by Roman coins that are (almost) uncirculated They are expensive, but (fortunately) they don't show up often, so the temptation of buying too many also isn't too big During an average year I buy about 3 denarii Sometimes (once every 2 or 3 years?) I buy an exquisite aureus, but that's also because I don't care about driving an expensive car
Comment from : @edwinvdv7030

I buy what catches my eye If it has eye appeal to me I will try to buy it
Comment from : @jaybabcock4557

I was looking purchase my 1st Roman coins brbrNGC ( F ) Roman AE of Constantine I, the Great (AD 307-337) BI Nummus - Ancient Graded brbrAsking $68 Is that worth it or to much?
Comment from : @CB-on8bd

I have met 2 ancient numismatics and they both dont slab their coins ( send it for grading at ngc or pcgs) why is that one of them said he really likes touching the coin and the other one says ancients grading is really unreliable unlike us coins
Comment from : @fogster8886

I have recently found out about the hobby, before this i thought all ancient coins costed like 10k a piece But after looking for soviet coins and finding out about how cheap old Russian coins from 1500s-1800s are, i think i might start collecting ancient coins My main interest is Russian, Roman, and Greek coins
Comment from : @BillabongJim

I don't have any acient coins yet, just brought 1898 Nicholas II Russia silver 1 Ruble coin
Comment from : @sh4969

What is the coin shown at 3:10 in the video? Looks amazing
Comment from : @horushardwicke2077

What do you think of test cuts on coins? I've been avoiding them so far, but I'm getting better lately
Comment from : @길가온-l3d

Very good message on budgeting Coin obsession and so many auctions make this hard to do, but so important

Humility is a strength Keep up the good work You are my go to YouTube source
Comment from : @vfc1860

Great Video as always Leo, you have done well for 5 years I started 60 years ago when a work collogue from Germany offered me a Maximianus Follis for 50 cents The rest was all uphill from there I sill love and cherish my Imperials collection
Comment from : @jonathanaristone2468

Absolutely spot on re: understanding the art I collected American coins as a kid and when I look at what that field has become 60 years later and it is really off-putting The huge prices, the obsessional focus on grading—all of this turns me off I was always in it for the beauty and ancients defuse a lot of these downsides with the importance of art, context and history
Comment from : @stephenparker4083

Curious, what is the coin being shown at 9:50 mark? Thank you for your great videos! 🙏
Comment from : @wertsdb71

While I was in Madrid I went to their ancient coin (and money in general) museum What a cool experience seeing those ancient works of art

Comment from : @aquila_d_oro

I have been colecting coins for about 5 yearsgot over 1000 roman coinsMost of them are in pretty bad shapebut i love them Right now i stopped buying coins because the buget went to the small bussines i started but always love to watch your videos and just wanted to say great job
Comment from : @Whitesmokeromania

My advice/insight would be - that when many coins are put together, they start talking What do I mean by that? When viewed from a broader perspective, the coins can tell an interesting story about the people who made them or about the times they were created in Examples? 1 - coins of Napoleon the Third were marked by counter stamps after the battle of Sedan, also some of them were turned into hobo nickels that mocked the emperor - this can give us an idea of how much of a failure this battle was from the perspective of the french people 2 - the design of some of the coins in the XIX and XX centuries was copied from ancient coins - the first 20 francs of Napoleon the First were heavily inspired by Augustus's denarius, Spanish 5 pesetas from 1870 were almost a copy of the design of Hadrius's denarius 'Hispania' So don't just read about coins that interest you, widen your knowledge and if you do, you might be surprised by what you've learned (I'm myself not into ancient coins, rather I'm into XIX and early XX century, but because of that connections I do own some ancient coins)

Can you handle coins on shows without gloves?
Comment from : @HeliodromusScorpio

I am also young, only 27 I am also proud to say I have gotten several of my friends into collecting who are also in their 20s
Comment from : @Kohnbread19

I will 100 second the keeping money aside for opportunities advice I have been collecting since 2009 and selling since 2020 Some of my best purchases, either for sales or collecting, have come from having the funds on hand to snag a good deal as soon as I saw it Books are always a good purchase, especially if you collect an area like Ptolemaic coinage, which only had 1 reference book from 1909 until recently

📽️👍👍👍👍👍
Comment from : @janiskar7892

hi, new colletor here, just got my first coin Alexander The Great, AR Tetradrachm, with Herakles wearing lion skin, really like the design of it
Comment from : @carson9429

I definitely made some of these mistakes early on in my collecting Thanks for your advice on collecting my later purchases were better because of it
Comment from : @darthrevan2723

I made this mistake last week with Titus and Commodus I wanted to complete 2 dynasties Trying to make up for lost time is one of the disadvantages of non starting sooner Watching your videos and lots of research has helped me to make as few mistakes as possible TY I'll be more patient now with Caligula and Claudius
Comment from : @NYCNAP

Such a great informational video, every time I see you post a new video, I get excited! Excellent content
Comment from : @KennyoftheReds

Great advice on here! 👍
Comment from : @asheland_numismatics

6:55 so incredibly true!
Comment from : @asheland_numismatics

I know we have different values and attitudes in collecting, so I was expecting to feel a need to offer counterpoints when I saw the title but this was surprisingly solid You surprise me a lot, good work ;)
Comment from : @markp44288

I have definitely made every mistake in the book since starting collecting 3 years ago so I relate to nearly every one of your tips Great video and I hope that anyone who is starting with coins has a chance to see it I don't think it is possible to be patient early, you need to get hands on to get a feel for the coins; when you have sufficient experience patience definitely is a virtue This will mean making mistakes, hopefully videos such as this will reduce the cost of those mistakes
Comment from : @nsi-nbsecretary7232

I couldn't agree more with your tips Leo, especially with your suggestion of buying coins that you hold first in your hand As you said, no photo will give you the actual feeling of the coin, and there is also a special feeling about hunting coins in the real world!
Comment from : @Numischannel

Wonderful video as always! I would say I am definitely a beginner, but I have become comfortable buying coins in auctions now and it shouldn't be seen as a scary hurdle for newcomers My advice would be to echo Leo, do some research! If you find a coin you like, there are going to be museums that have these cataloged, like the British Museum! That's a tip I took to heart learning from this channel Lastly, coin auctions are a very common occurrence and trusted auction houses are a great place to start buying coins online! I recently acquired one of my absolute favorite coins from an auction, it's well worth it!
Comment from : @allthejon2953

Another awesome video! Keeping within a budget is the biggest challenge Hope you can do a video on Byzantine coinage
Comment from : @donklaser217

Hi Leo, thanks for the tips! Which is the last empress you showed in the video? Many thanks
Comment from : @alvarofranco7938

I've been buying gold/silver/platinum bullion coins for years now Just got into buying ancient coins, thanks to your channel I have a few graded Roman Denari, bronze greek coins, but the best piece I have is a NGC Extra Fine, Macedon - Alexander the Great TetraDrachm Thanks for the great content
Comment from : @olehs6201

I totally agree with these tips, especially to control your budget The only thing I would add is to link your collection to your areas of historical interest, for example if you are obsessed with the history of the Flavians, buy a coin of the Flavians Thats how I pick most of my coins (of course eye appeal is something important to consider as well)
Comment from : @victorvanmurray7664

Another good video Agree with the tips
Comment from : @lucaromano_numismatics

I really enjoy your channel I have only bought a couple coins so far, but I have really learned a lot by watching your content Thank you so much for putting it out there Its a lot of work, but know that it is very much appreciated
Comment from : @jasonhaase8140

NICE COINS BRO
Comment from : @spef7396

Great information and useful!
Comment from : @galiciametaldetecting9955

I really like the videos you make I started collecting ancient coins for about 4 years My focus ist also on ancient roman imperial coins I really wanted to meet people who think alike and have someone who I can share this passion Since I discovered your channel, I have watched all the videos I have learned very much from them and I will still keep watching all the videos you put out The best advice that I received from you is that I shouldn't buy low grade coins and better invest the funds in fewer coins but better graded/looking ones Cheers and best of luck!
Comment from : @CrazzyyDanyy

I’ve been collecting for over 20 years and my only suggestion is: buy what you like! I typically only buy a coin or two a year, and I went for a long stretch without buying any (other hobbies took over) I don’t think I’ve paid more than a couple of hundred dollars for a single coin Most of the coins I buy are within the $50-$70 range And I don’t really have any collecting focus; I just buy what stands out to me and what I like I am interested in all sorts of cultures and historical time periods Right now I am fascinated with Kushan and Indo-Greek coinage, but for a long time I have been collecting ancient Celtic coinage I have a number of Roman coins, and a few Greek coins I don’t really have any particular focus but I’m OK with that My collection is pretty eclectic, unusual and interesting in my opinion!
Comment from : @Buzzygirl63

Just out of curiosity, what are the first things you look for, when buying an ancient coin? Do you look to see how worn the picture looks or how worn the lettering might be?
Comment from : @ericcasagrande
