Throughout
the ages people would bury their money and other valuables
because there were no banks like today so there fortunes would
be safe. Soldiers would go off to war and do the same thing
but many would never return and there valuables would be lost
throughout time until someone found them or tombs were robbed
of their treasures. Most Roman soldiers also did this with
their money and fortunes before they left for battles with
plans of returning home to recover them after the battle. So
as we all know countless numbers of them did not make it back
home to "recover their fortunes" as they died in battle. So
their coins lied there for over a millennium just waiting to
see the day light again and now you have the chance to hold
them in your hand.
All of the items we sell are the lost treasures of along
ago so while you have these coins in front of you try to think
about who held it before you, they were lost throughout time
and now you have them. If they could only speak to you imagine
the stories they could tell, the places they have been, the
civilizations that used them or maybe one might have been used
to pay to watch the Gladiators fight, plus to think how they
were made so long ago because in those times everything was
painstakingly done by hand. It is almost like your holding a
fine work of art in your hands at an affordable price and it
is amazing to think that the coins in your hands are around
over 1500 years old or older!!.
The fun part of these coins happens to be that you never
know what you will find; it's like opening a Birthday or
Christmas present!. These coins can also be a good project for
the young ones in school or your family because everyone can
get involved in the fun, additionally the age ranges can be
from a small child to an older person, to Seniors.
EVERY one of these coins are
uncleaned therefore that means they are covered in dirt and
you will have to clean them to see the fine details on the
coins. I will supply you with detailed cleaning instructions
on how to clean your coins with every bid whether you have bid
on 1 or 1000 coins. So remember that these coins are over 1500
years old and will look little bit different from coin to
coin. We also make sure that no broken or "holed" coins are in
your lot as well plus I want to repeat that these are
uncleaned coins so you will have to clean them!!
Why Roman coins are a good investment, how to identify coins, & there Values
Roman coins have been collected for about the last 100 or so
years. Before 1960's there were few in numbers that were found and they were mostly sent to
museums as it was very difficult for collectors to get them.
But when electronic such as metal detectors came into usage the export began to
grow. At first they came from Yugoslavia, Lebanon, and Eastern Europe. When Communism had ended and all borders were re-opened again they were found in huge numbers and exported from Eastern
Europe . The
prices at first were very low than they are today because of the larger numbers
being found.
Also during that time there were a few people who made a lot of
money by buying millions of coins. Amongst these people were some US
soldiers serving in Bosnia
after the civil war there who smuggled huge numbers of cheap coins into the US
when they returned home from the war.So over the past few years it has seen a larger increase in prices (plus of inflations). There has been recently the threat of a shortage
of coins because less and less are now being found so the prices are going up and up.
There will always be a demand for Roman coins but it is more then likely that very soon
there will be no more large numbers available to us. And when that time comes the
prices will rise again because there will no longer the supply to fill the ever growing demand. And when those have been sold, the
price will go up again to the point where it will not be affordable for anyone!.
After the cleaning process is done on the coins it can then be identified. A book by David Sear or David VanMeter or using the web can often yelled the best results to identifying them. There were over 200 Roman emperors who made thousands of different coins over time and some types of coin have over 1,000 different variations on them. Every emperor and empress issued his or her own coins in numerous variations and values.
The values in books of Roman coins and also on any web site can no longer be fully relied upon in todays market and the values which are given in any books are at least 3 to 5 years old which gives value anywhere from $10 to $10,000 or more but now to the lager number of hoards being found in Europe the normal values of coins these days are now within the $5 to $200 price range for nice not overly cleaned examples. But over the years there has been recently the threat of a shortage of coins because less and less are now being found so the prices will start going up and up over the next years. Remember there were only so many coins being made and that is all, once they have all been found there will be no more!. But you still have the chance of buying these High quality uncleaned Roman coins at
a reasonable price. The Guarantee that make these a good
investment comes from the fact that their value will increase over time faster than
inflation.
WHY SHOULD YOU COLLECT THEM?
Some people invest their money in Roman coins or Ancient coins. They
sell all there copies and then
reinvest the money in more coins to increase the size
of their collection. Those collections will neverlose their value but will increase over time because Roman
coins are a limited commodity, no matter how many are found as they will
never be made again and some collect them just for interest
of history. If you have any questions at any time or concerns please email us at: jchcoins@yahoo.com and we will reply as soon as possible.
THESE COINS ARE WONDERFUL
GIFTS AND ALSO MAKE LEARNING FUN FOR YOUR
KIDS

interested in ancient history than sharing the experiences of
cleaning an ancient coin with them since they can hold it in
there hands other then just reading in some book!!. And just
watching their eyes up light with amazement as the details of
the coins start to unfold right in front of there own eyes
after being hidden for hundreds or thousands of years. We have
had numerous parents email us after they cleaned our coins

now had a new interest for ancient history. Not only are they
a super learning material they are also great for gifts. Plus

In addition to every bid I will give you detailed cleaning
instructions on how to clean your coins. When the coin is
finally cleaned and you can see the details on it, a good idea
would be to buy a book on Roman coins to identify your coins

that can help you out in identifying your coins. And I wanted
to remind everyone that these are uncleaned coins so they will
need to be cleaned once you get them!!
