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!

I OPENED ONE BAG AND CLEANED THEM AND FOUND SOME AMAZING COINS. NOT ALL COINS ARE AMAZING THOUGH. IT'S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW

Quality
Almost all of the coins are from the Roman Imperial  and  BYZANTINE  era. (approx. 100 B.C. to 450 A.D.), a few are from earlier or later times.
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 every day


Source of the coins
The coins come from places such as Viminacium (a Roman town near Kostolats in Eastern Europe). 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 can buy them.

We can’t promise that every coin will have incredible detail because they come to us uncleaned just as dug up and can have over 2,000 years of caked on dirt up to 1mm thick and the seller can't see through dirt. But we do the best we can to give you the most detailed coins as we can.

So the more you buy, the better chance you have of getting a good coin.

They are not cherry picked or sorted through but just picked out of the batch.

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 6 months. If you don't have the patience, you might consider buying coins that are already cleaned.

GOOD LUCK

AND

HAPPY HUNTING!

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. IF NOT THERE ARE COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT COULD HELP YOU IDENTIFY THE COINS. A WIDOWS MITE WITH NO DETAIL IS STILL WORTH MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT...

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.

 

 

.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
