A community for collectors of ancient and medieval coins.

ID requests are welcome, but please post clearly lit images of both sides of the coin as well as a picture of the edges of the coin.

Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.

I general, just be nice to each other :)

Whenever somebody polishes ancient coins I wish they would display the dirty version beside it.

Gold often comes out of the ground looking brand new, silver less so, and bronze usually not depending on the climate.

But I agree, would look cool.
