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 :)

Currently on holiday with the family in France, came across a coin shop and went in to ask if they had ancient coins (not many do). To my delight they did, although in a fairly middle quality.
Still, it was priced fairly and to reward the guy for pulling out the stuff for me I bought this Philip I antoninianus with a victory reverse for 30 euro.
They are not powdery, I expect it's simply a mineral deposit.
