A community for collectors of ancient and medieval coins.

ID requests are welcome, but please post clearly lit images of both sides of the coin as well as a picture of the edges of the coin.

Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.

I general, just be nice to each other :)
