APMEX offers a superb selection of Ancient Coins.
Ancient coins were the first coins to ever be minted. These fascinating old coins were struck with hand-held die and heavy hammer, so each one is unique. Ancient coins are anywhere from 1500 to 2500 years old (550 BC to 500 AD) and were first struck in Asia Minor, what is Turkey today.
These were the coins of ancient Athens; the coins that went with Alexander the Great on his conquest of the Persian Empire. They were used during the time of Christ and by the Roman legions until the fall of the Roman Empire.
To hold an ancient coin in your hand is as close as we can come to time travel. Perhaps this Tetradrachm was used during the building of the Parthenon. Or this Denarius went along with some Roman legionnaire to the conquest of Britain...
