Collectors have a wide range of areas from which to add to their collections. Ancient coins represent the utmost in historical value, and can include the silver coinage of ancient Athens, the numismatic world of Alexander the Great, and portrait coinage featuring the famous and infamous of the Roman Empire.

There are a host of things to see on coins. No matter what you are looking for, after a quick perusal, most collectors will seek some type of magnification to enlarge their view of the coin they are examining. I travel with an assortment of hand lenses. Close up Magnification of 1877 Indian CentThere is a 20�, a 10�, and a combination 3�/4�/7�. Beginning with an overall view to address shape, color, and design, a grader will also be looking at a coin's luster and for imperfections that detract from its eye appeal. Error/variety collectors will be looking for doubling on its design, planchet/striking problems, overdates, and overmintmarks. Authenticators will need to look more closely at its surface for die polish marks, tooling, and characteristics common to counterfeit or altered coins.
