Here we have a great variety of larger Roman and Classical Greek coins, some of them seem to be showing some fair detail before being cleaned. Great selection of the harder to find more sought after larger Roman coins as well as the smaller and thicker Greek coins that all of the collectors love!

Here we have an early Greek hoard, they are mainly made up of the chunky slightly domed coins with the odd variation as a rough guess I would say the vast majority of them will be around 200 BC . A fair few of them already show some detail, you can see some with horses on some of them as well as mythical creatures and Gods. These types of hoards are generally very popular as everyone loves Greek coins and the values tend to be a lot higher than their roman counterparts. This is due in part to the interesting subject matter and also due to the fact that they are not so common and tend to clean up better. This hoard should be very interesting to clean and attribute. Although some show some good detail a lot of them will hold onto their secrets until they have been cleaned.

This is a mainly low-grade late Roman hoard with a few Byzantine coins and the odd Greek coin mixed in. We often get asked for Roman coins at lower price points. This one fits the bill, they are certainly the cheapest coins that we have ever sold, and they are in typical uncleaned condition. Some show some promising detail so will be cleanable and attributable, but others will never clean up as a lot of late Roman coins were made of a very thin poor quality bronze. But we are sure that these are the cheapest ethically obtained late Roman coins available anywhere on the Internet at the moment. They also seem to show a far better variety than most others available on the Internet.

This is a rather pleasant hoard of mainly Roman coins; it has a nice mix of the rarer large coins as well as the smaller denominations. There is also a nice helping of silver coins in this hoard, we must have seen at least 30 or 40 while we were pouring the coins out on the table to take photographs, but as we don’t stage our photographs there are only a couple visible in the pictures.

This hoard seems to have some very interesting coins in it and should prove to be a lot of fun when cleaning and attributing them. A good few coins are already showing some detail so I would say it is “over average” for a hoard of this nature.

This is a mainly Greek hoard with some interesting earlier Roman coins in it. Everyone always loves cleaning Greek coins as they often contain mythical creatures and can often prove to be very interesting and more valuable than their Roman counterparts. We believe that there should be some very interesting coins contained in this hoard. It has a good feel to it and a few that are already showing detail are ones that we have never seen before.

If you are looking for something with some real variety and rarity that is mainly Greek then we think that this hoard should not disappoint.

This is a hoard that contains a good percentage of classical Greek coins depicting ancient Gods, creatures and horses coins along with some interesting earlier Roman and Persian coins. A lot of the coins are reasonably encrusted at the moment but being earlier thicker coins they will generally take well to cleaning because the bronze used in the manufacturing process was far superior to that of a lot of later coins. With a bit of patience these will make for some very interesting cleaning and attributing that could potentially lead to some exciting finds. There is also a variety of artefacts within this hoard including a few rings, brooches and miscellaneous items.

This is without question one of the nicest hoards that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The detail even before cleaning is striking with well over 90% of the coins being instantly attributable in their current state. Pontos is often considered the home of the Amazons.

The first travels of Greek merchants and adventurers to the Pontian region occurred probably from around 1000 BC, whereas their settlements would become steady and solidified cities only by the 8th and 7th centuries BC as archaeological findings document. This fits in well with a foundation date of 731 BC as reported by Eusebius of Caesarea for Sinope, perhaps the most ancient of the Greek Colonies in what was later to be called Pontus.[12] The epical narratives related to the travels of Jason and the Argonauts to Colchis, the tales of Heracles' navigating the Black Sea and Odysseus' wanderings into the land of the Cimmerians, as well as the myth of Zeus constraining Prometheus to the Caucasus mountains as a punishment for his outwitting the Gods.

Here we have a hoard of large mainly Roman Provincial coins, I would say they are in slightly over average condition as a good deal of them you can feel the relief on prior to cleaning and a few of them already show good noticeable detail on them. A lot of these Provincial coins can be very collectable and offer some interesting cleaning, it should also be noted that a lot of these coins were often used in circulation until they were fairly worn.

Here we have a wide range of Roman Brooches, they come in a wide range of sizes and styles, a number of them have ornate detail. Most of these Brooches are typically missing the pins, but they make great display items.

This is a very interesting collection of ancient Iron fire starters; they range in age from Roman to medieval. Some of them have ornate detail and there is a wide range of different designs. We have a selection of both cleaned and uncleaned examples.

Here we have a long-standing collection of mainly uncleaned premium Roman coins acquired from a German Collector. We have about 300 available in total and as you can see they are in exceptional uncleaned condition. They range in size and age and include some silver and silvered examples. They will make for really nice and easy cleaning and most will clean to show exceptional detail. We are selling these in counted lots, as we had to acquire them on a cost per coin basis. I would say they are some of the best uncleaned Roman coins that I have ever seen as they only very rarely come up in such outstanding condition, all should be attributable.

Here we have some Silver Roman coins that are in premium condition, most require a little cleaning but all have great detail on them. There is a great variety of coins here and they will certainly make for interesting attribution and be a good investment at this grade.

Here we have a Middle Eastern hoard that has influences from Greece, the early Roman Empire as well as some Byzantine and possibly Islamic coins in it. The vast majority of these coins are very large for a Middle Eastern hoard. Some are showing some detail already and should prove to be interesting coins. The few smaller coins tend to be the earlier ones as well. I have only noticed one or two smaller Roman silver coins in here but they did seem to have nice detail on them. We always struggle to get earlier hoards mainly made up of larger coins from this region, but when they come up they are quite interesting and varied.
