Good news! Many of the rare coins featured on RareCoins.com are somebody’s idea of the perfect Dream Coin. That’s what we go looking for — the rarest and the finest. Building a unique collection of Dream Coins is what we do for our clients every day.

Perhaps you would like to own a 100 year-old U.S. Silver Dollar...or a Gold Coin minted before the Civil War.

Shipwreck Gold Coins

Some coin collectors would love to own coins that were lost in famous 1800s shipwrecks — coins recovered from the ocean floor, curated, and certified authentic pieces of American history.

Famous Shipwrecks including S.S. Brother Jonathan 1865 produced a long lost, coin collecting opportunity. The Brother Jonathan was a side-wheel steamship that sank off the coast of Northern California on July 30, 1865 — and it remains one of the most famous treasure shipwrecks in American numismatics.

The S.S. Central America is ften called the “Ship of Gold.” This is the most famous treasure shipwreck in U.S. numismatics. It sank in a hurricane off the Carolina coast in 1857 with tons of California Gold Rush treasure including some of the finest known $20 Double Eagles— Dream Coins with a recovery story as beautiful as the coins themselves.

Ancient Greek and Roman Coins

We also enjoy serving clients with a Greek heritage who collect some of the first coins minted more than 2,500 years ago in the Ancient Greek city-states — early silver drachms and staters struck in places like Athens, Corinth, and Aegina. These remarkable pieces represent the very birth of money in the Western world. Other collectors are drawn to Ancient Roman coins, hand-struck pieces of history minted with images of famous Roman leaders like Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Nero.

Ancient coins like these are more than 2,000 years old. Each one is well documented, identified, curated, and detailed by NGC’s team of Ancient rare coin experts. Each coin is sealed in a special NGC holder along with its grading certificate describing the coin, date range, and detailed state of preservation.

Authentic Bible Era Coins

We also have collectors who have added Ancient Coins used in Israel in Jesus’ time. Collectors often prefer coins specifically mentioned in the Bible like the Widow’s Mite (a small bronze prutah issued under Alexander Jannaeus), the Tribute Penny often associated with Tiberius, and the Thirty Pieces of Silver commonly linked to Tyrian shekels struck in the ancient city of Tyre. As these coins are discovered and certified authentic, RareCoins.com often receives first pick for our Ancient clients.
