Large lot of bargain priced Ancients [solved]

6 posts • viewed 255 times
I know very little about them, other than they're ex dealer stock. US collectors may recognise the name from the scans below. They were sold in bulk to a friend of mine who let me take my pick of them as I was at the time interested in starting a collection. So I picked out the best looking ones and the ones tagged "rare" or with a high price ticket. The writing on the 2x2's isn't mine so please take any valuations and identifications with a pinch of salt and use your own judgement. I just don't have the time to pursue a new avenue so I'd just like to be rid of them at a price considerably less than I paid. If you find some real gems among them nobody will be happier than me - good luck.
21 coins in total - less than $3 per coin @ $60 plus shipping at cost. (roughly $15 overseas or $4 domestic for basic tracked parcel post) PayPal preferred but good old cash or junk silver will work. If you have any top tier UK coins, especially pre 1800, then a trade may be possible but clearly this would be for more than $60.

Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

Hi pnightingale,
That was an awesome looking lot for sale at a bargain price.
I would be interested if you have anything available ever again.
regards

​Thank you my dear fellow. While it's unwise to predict the future, I'd say that a similar lot is unlikely to be repeated. I buy most of my coins locally, in bulk, so I frequently have a lot of coins to trade but Ancients don't appear very often mixed with more recent coinage.

I have however been selling off my former world coin collection by country at very competitive prices to several collectors. Your profile page indicates an interest in the coins of British India for example. I have quite a few of these ranging from the tiny 1/12th Anna right up to the large silver Rupees. There's plenty of common dates, a good mixture of grades, even a few higher valued East India Company coins. While there's not a lot of room for flexibility in the case of silver coins, it's usually possible to arrive at a price for the entire lot which leaves everybody happy. If this is something you might like to pursue please send me a message, whether it be India or any other country which interests you.

Thanks pnightingale.
I will let you know.
Will check and get back to you about the ones from British India that I need.
