Mine is a 300 b.c. Alexander the Great tetradrachm.

 

400 B.C. Cleaned it myself. Olive Tree (or Grapes) and Prancing Horse, pretty common. About the sized of a dime.

wow i looked for an ancheint coinbut we just bought a house so i don't have any money to spend anymore for an anchient

 

You can get an ancient for about $2.

 

I think the consensus on this was Black Sea roughly 275BC Young Pan Error. - This was $4 uncleaned.

really where

 

Roman ones in fine condition can be had for just a few bucks. I would try vcoins, if not there then ebay.

This is where I picked up mine. Start at vcoins, watch out for ebay. My coin started as heavily crusted, so it was fun to uncover the coin and a very minor expense.

Good Luck

 

Hello,

circa 420 BC, a very tiny bronze from Syracuse showing Arethusa and an octopus, for a few bucks too

I do have a 40mm celtic ring money 600ish BC. But that’s not really a coin.

My avatar is a silver obol, from Cilicia, ca. 4th century BC

 

1797 cent, cull

 

I have several ancients from around 400 B.C. I just need to get to my safe to post pics.

 

Man, seeing these others I am a bit ashamed to say my oldest is a 1900 Liberty nickel. Nice coins everyone!
