    Thanks for sharing this great quality video. I'm sure every coin collector must have a magnifying glass in his/her drawer, it's one of the joys of coin collecting, also, paying attention on the details and understanding how these ancient coins were made will help to spot counterfeits

    Fascinating details... thank you for this special view of the coins and the stories of their minting intricacies and variations that give each ancient coin a unique character.

    • @ClassicalNumismatics

      Each coin is a world on its own. Not just for their intricacies and the special circumstances of their minting, but also under which conditions did they travel in time to our days, making each piece unique! :)

      There are some other videos discussing patina, taking care of bronze coins, proper storage and surface conservation, have a look at the channel page. Hopefully the knowledge is useful to you.

    What a fun perspective! Thank you for sharing! I've been binge watching your videos after a bought a few coins, it's been very enjoyable to have you as a teacher. So far my favorite coin is my Sestertius, for obvious reasons 😃 Thanks for all of your tips! Have you thought of doing a video on Carthaginian coins?

    I like how ancient coin collecting also requires some knowledge in chemistry (especially w/ bronzes). This video kinda felt like a mini science lesson too :P

    • @ClassicalNumismatics
      @ClassicalNumismatics  3 года назад +1

      True! Silver and Gold arent really complicated, but once you get to the array of base metals that were used, it really opens up a whole lot of different effects, colors and reactions.

    Fantastic video, very well explained! The as of Agrippa though, was certainly not struck under Augustus, it is attributed to the reign of Agrippa's great-grandson Gaius (Caligula). Bronze disease is indeed a problem, but the color is very different: it is a pale light green green and comes out of the coin as a tiny-grain powder. Pitting is normally inactive.

    I have a neat little AR denarius that isn't very well centered and it has a tooth mark where someone must have bitten the coin to check if it was soft silver....very little wear to the coin too.

    This is like looking at satellite imagery of the moon, really fascinating and educational!
    Would you happen to have a video more on how the engravers engraved their coins and made such tiny details? I'm trying to make jewelry replicating the aesthetic of ancient numismatics, using oven bake clay as an engraving material. The tiny detail of some roman coins astound me, and I wish to replicate such beautiful details in my own work.
    If you have such a video could you reference it to me, or if not could you maybe tackle the subject somewhere down the line?
    Thanks! :)

    Well, I’m learning that real coins have natural imperfections, such as corrosive evidence that no one can replicate but time and the elements
