PENLAND’S
ANCIENT
COIN COLLECTION
“I am compelled to write at length on this point because people now are largely ignorant of the ancient writings.”
-Simplicius of Cilisia on the philosopher Parmenides ~500 A.D.
I am a new collector, hoping to inspire and help others along their path of collecting ancient coins. My focus is collecting, identifying, and referencing any coin I can get my hands on. I have dedicated pages to Roman Imperial silver, Roman Imperial bronze, and Roman provincial, while also featuring some ancient Greek, Byzantine, and east Asian coins. I primarily use the online RIC database for referencing, but I always try to verify with another published reference. You might see some of these coins on my eBay store, as I upgrade my collection. Check out my Instagram below, where I show off and write about my favorite coins. Thank you for visiting!
