I live in Pasco and to find any ancient I would have to go to Seattle or Contact RAS from Dirty Old Coins. He is the only ancient coin dealer in the area. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 7:42 pm I think that any reasonable collection of ancient coins, where the custodian of the collection has a prime numismatic interest in ancient coins, should have a gold coin represented in that collection, even if it is only one of them. In the ancient World, gold after all, despite it's reverence, was used as a normal circulating coinage metal. The silver to gold weight value ratio was typically only 15:1, not typically 60:1, as it is today. Report this Post to the Staff
