You may have noticed that the price for my ancient dirty coin listings has gone up.
I will attempt to explain below what has happened.
Please read below to get the details.
The uncleaned coin market is changing. The amount of coins that are available are drying up. They are getting harder and harder to find and the prices have been increasing as well. These coins were sorted by the Excavators in Europe and sent kilos to me in taped up bags. (see photo's) I have changed the price and the description because the cheaper lots are no longer available.  I will continue to buy and list as many coins as possible in the future so check back often.
Hope to continue doing business with you and
‘Thank You’
for your time and understanding.
But Please keep in mind, these are 2,000 year old coins with an Amazing story and History behind them.
10 Ancient Roman Coins
APPROX- 100BC TO 450 AD
UNCLEANED ANCIENT ROMAN COINS.
THESE ARE RIGHT FROM THE EXCAVATOR IN EUROPE. I BUY THEM SEALED IN LOTS JUST LIKE IN PICTURE.
(
see picture #2
)
I sell in lots of 5, 10, 50, 100 and Kilo's
Search my store for one of these or email me and I will give you the item number
I will also sell in larger lots. If interested contact me and we'll work something out.
These aren't the 'junk' coins that other sellers are trying to sell.
These coins have 2,000 years of dirt caked up on them and it is very hard to see what is behind the dirt until cleaned. But about 30% will show detail through the dirt, this is more than other sellers could claim.
Look at the Feedback from these other sellers than look at mine!
Buy from the "Honest" seller.
I can't guarantee Silver but I can guarantee the possibility of finding them based on the thousands I have cleaned in the past. But the more you buy the better chance you will have of striking Silver.
Forget about finding Gold in any seller’s dirty ancient coins.
Those are carefully cherry picked in Europe. If anybody says there is a chance of finding gold are just down right lying!
BEWARE
!
Please read the following for buying
“Ancient Dirty Coins”
DIRTY ANCIENT ROMAN COINS
A far as this item, “Ancient Dirty Roman Coins” The a seller can’t see through 1 mm of dirt so we have no way of knowing what kind of coin it is or the grade of the coin, although some have less buildup and some detail will be seen before cleaning. After cleaning, some will show no detail, some will show some detail, and some will be Gems. The cleaning process takes several weeks to several months. But that is part of the fun, you never know what you’ll find and it’s a great hobby.  If you want a guaranteed nicely detailed Ancient Coin I suggest you buy a coin that has already been cleaned and identified. Of course, you will be paying much more money for the coin.
So if you feel adventurous and lucky, try some dirty coins. Even if the coin shows very little detail, you still have an Ancient Coin many centuries old. How many people could claim that?
Good Luck and Have fun.
THESE COINS ARE BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND
Restoring and collecting Roman coins is getting more popular all over the world by the day! It is truly a fascinating hobby which combines numerous areas of knowledge such as numismatics, ancient history and a feeling of treasure hunting (you never know what is under the dirt); learning new things, training mental agility, discovery (there are so many different types to discover including types and variations previously unknown) and handicraft (cleaning the coins).
You can clean them using a variety of methods (soap and hot water, olive oil, distilled water, stiff brush, electrolysis or using chemicals).  I guarantee that these coins are absolutely genuine! The coins are at least 1500  to 2000 years old!
Quality
Most all of the coins are from the Roman Imperial and Provincial
(Approx. 100 B.C. to 450 A.D.), and some are from earlier or later times and some from the Byzantine era.
Sizes: coins are up to 30mm (Ases, Folli, Sestertii, Antoniniani, Maiorine, Denarii etc….), many are of the smaller size because those were the coins that were used most in everyday Rome
.
Source of the coins
The coins come from all over Europe in places such as Viminacium (a Roman town near Kostolats in Eastern Europe what is now Serbia.). Some from what is now Croatia. There were no banknotes in those days and the only banking system (a very basic system offered almost exclusively to the ruling classes) and so all transactions were made in cash (= coins). These were often buried in the cellar, beneath trees, next to local landmarks such as aquaducts and bridges. When the owner died (many of the owners were soldiers sent off to serve elsewhere), the coins were forgotten. Today, nearly 2,000 years later they are being found using electronic means and you have the ability to own some now.
The more you buy, the better chance you have of getting a great expensive coin.
They are not cherry picked or sorted through but just picked out of the batch.
SOME OF THE SMALLER COINS COULD BE THE HIGHLY COLLECTABE “WIDOWS MITES.” WIDOWS MITES ARE A HIGHLY COLLECTABE COIN BECAUSE THEY ARE MENTIONED IN THE
BIBLE
. THIS IS THE COIN JESUS AND HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD HAVE HAD BECAUSE THEY ARE A LOW DENOMINATION COIN AND JESUS AND HIS FOLLOWERS WERE MOSTLY POOR. WIDOWS MITES ARE A SMALL COIN AND UNFORTUNATLY 90% 0F THEM DIDN’T HOLD UP WELL AFTER 20 CENTURIES UNDER GROUND. BUT IF YOU HAVE A TRAINED EYE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SPOT THEM.
A WIDOWS MITE WITH NO DETAIL IS STILL WORTH MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR THE COIN…
The “Widow’s Mite” Biblical coin refers to the story of the poor widow whom Jesus Christ commended in the Temple for having given all she had, two “mites”.
"And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast In much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two Mites...and he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: for all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all she had."
Mark 12: 41-44
THERE IS ALSO MENTION OF THE WIDOWS MITE IN
LUKE 21: 1-4
There are 2 different Widows Mites.
Lepton Widow’s Mite 103-76 BC (Widow’s Mite “lepton” as mentioned in scriptures) minted under Alexander Jannaeus
Prutah Widow’s Mite 103-76 BC (Often currently referred to as the Widow’s Mite but was a larger coin with similar markings to the lepton( minted under Alexander Jannaeus.
These coins were minted by the Maccabees in Jerusalem and used in Jerusalem during the life of Jesus and the disciples. It was the penny of that time period and is famously mentioned in the New Testament.
There are no two coins of this kind alike! They were minted by hand over 2000 years ago and were in circulation for many years, causing many Pruta and Lepton coins that are found today to be in poor condition.
GENERAL ADVICE
Patience is the key element for the cleaning of your coins. I cannot stress that strongly enough. It took at least 1,500 or more years for this dirt to accumulate and it does not come off without some time and effort. Start with only a few coins if you never cleaned coins before to refine your skills. Resist the urge to hurry the clean up process. It leads to shortcuts that could damage the coin.
The cleaning process could take up to several weeks to up to 9 months. If you don't have the patience, you might consider buying coins that are already cleaned at a much higher price
.
GOOD LUCK
AND
HAPPY HUNTING!
