5 out of 5 starsMy boyfriend wants to get into Roman coin collecting but felt discouraged by the high price of many coins. I thought this was a great anniversary gift for him because it was so reasonably priced that his spirit was reinvigorated and he was looking up coins for hours after he was gifted.

Frequently asked questions
How is it possible to own these ancient relics?
Contrary to popular belief, not all relics are sought after by museums or archaeologists. In fact, many artifacts (coins in particular) are common enough that they can be owned by the average person, and some museums even auction off excess artifacts that are not valuable enough to enter their collections (which is where many of our relics originate from). Our relics are all ethically obtained, and no harm has been done to the understanding of any culture by purchasing them.
Are the coins damaged when mounted on the displays?
The coins are held in place by pressure alone (applied by a small foam backing that is not visible), and they are not damaged in any way. We do not use glue or modify the coins, and they are still easily able to be removed in their original state if the set is disassembled (not recommended, as the coins are difficult to arrange to begin with!). We're dedicated to preserving history, so we will always ensure to take special care not to alter any of the relics we sell.
How will the coins I receive vary from the ones in the photos?
Each ancient coin is unique, especially due to the lack of precision tools for minting coins at the time. There are regional differences, and the imagery depicted on the coins can often be different even under the same rulers.
You are guaranteed to receive coins that are:
- From the same civilization
- From the same approximate time period (more on this below)
- Composed of the same metal (bronze, silver, etc.)
- In a similar condition of wear
The differences will be the exact imagery on the coins, the color of the coins (each one has developed a unique tint over time, known as a patina), and slight variations in time periods (from the reigns of different emperors, for example).
Where do these coins come from?
We deal with reputable sources comprised of established coin dealers from around the world, and use our expertise to ensure that we sell only real specimens. Each set comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, as well as our personal guarantee that each coin is genuine or your money back.
I'm an educator interested in purchasing a set for my class, is there a discount available?
Yes, we do offer discounts for educators! Please contact us at education@historyhoard.com for more details. You will be required to provide proof of your educator status.
