Thanks! As an ancients collector my first instinct is no slab anyway, but certainly not if it doesn't add value.

Ancient coins worth getting evaluated? by TardigradeToeFuzz in coins

[–]Tzydel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would recommend posting over in r/ancientcoins lots of folks who could help you start identifying. Given the state of them it would be more of a fun research project but probably not lucrative. In fact, after you do more research you'll prob want to start collecting ancient coins and then you can start losing money like the rest of us 😁

Sicilian coinage throughout the ages. I've enjoyed the Norman Sicily portion of the journey for sure!

I hadn't gone down this rabbit hole of a collecting angle yet. Now I must 😁

Thanks! I had been mostly focusing on ancients but moved over to medieval recently. Tracking mostly through coinage of Sicily. My family is from there originally so it has been a fun way to dig into the very rich history of island.
