Hey there, these are authenticated by the auction houses I get my supply from, they hire professional numismatists that specialize in ancient coinage and usually offer a lifetime guarantee on their coins. Documents however, are pretty useless when it comes to ancient artifacts as they don't really mean anything at all.

Hmm I see, however I think it would still be nice to atleast have proof its been authenticated, but thats just my layman perspective 😅
Thanks for the info.

No problem, I understand but "proof" can be typed out to anybody and a lot of people actually abuse this by typing out some paragraph claiming "proof" or "authentication" and then charge a $100 for a $10 coin just because of a meaningless document. You will see that these documents are completely disregarded when brought up. The best way to start would be grabbing some super cheap and crusty roman coins for like R100 from BidorBuy. The best way to learn is handling them, and then doing research. You will learn what to look for and will be instantly be able to tell apart fakes from the real deal. Happy hunting!

I have heard this before and it makes sense.

Couple years ago I got the bright idea that I wanted an ancient Roman ring and after a bit of research, I discovered a lot of them are fakes made in Eastern Euorpe... I ultimately decided to wipe that idea out of my mind, because I just didnt know enough and didnt want to get scammed :/

Its annoying, I just want "a cool thing" not nessecarily spend time and money getting into a new hobby and as a noob I cant shake the feeling, there should be some form of proof, but I also understand it doesnt work like that... sigh :/

Anyway I dont want to derail your thread with my musings lol... GLWS
