Just bought at a coin show today a denarius from 222 AD. I'm not usually into ancients, but this one looked pretty cool. It's a coin of Julia Maesa who was the grandmother of two Roman emperors, Elagabalus and Alexander Severus. (She was the sister of Julia Domna, who was an Empress and wife of Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus and mother of Emperors Geta and Caracalla).

So it's either Roman empire or modern "ancients?"
How about medieval Chinese coins? This one from 1070's:

Hmm,
My oldest coin would be from Scotland - James I '20 Pence' 1637-42 (No Date) (minted in Edinburgh)
Oldest coin with an actual date on it would be my Commonwealth of England Shilling of 1653.

My oldest coin from my own country is an 1891 five-cent.
My oldest dated modern age coin is an 1808 coin from the British East India Company. I also have a French sou from circa 1785. The date is worn away, but i'm certain on its type.
I also have some ancient coins from the 3rd century.

I have to say that I am both surprised and impressed by the quality of coins on display and more importantly the obvious pride collectors take in their cherished coins. We should do this more often!
I think the award for the ugliest coin goes to the "Barney Frank commemorative quarter" posted by James Wolfe.
The handsomest thus far... well that's more difficult. Personally I'm inclined toweards the Thracian Hemidrachm of Jjava narrowly beating Moneyer121's Hemilobol. however the latter features Alexander so it's a hard call.
Please do keep these coming, this has been most interesting and the coins are excellent.
I don't really collect ancients myself but I have a few... well just because! I know we have several members who are ardent admirers of ancients coins and trust me, I really do see the attraction, but that learning curve.... eeeek!

I've got some Roman unidentified (as yet) spare change, but the oldest coin I posess of whose age I'm sure (well, sort of) is the 1/2-grosz of HRH Alexander Olbracht. The little (1.03 g and 18 mm diameter, 0.375 silver) coin was struck between 1501 and 1506.

It depends. The oldest dated coins I own is a ½ grosz 1548 from Lithuania. But the oldest coin in my collection is an Roman coin (Tiberius) from early 22 AD.

No ancients, but i have a UK William 3rd 1690's Chester mint mark half crown. The date is unreadable but there is enough left to identify it.
Earliest non-UK is a Netherlands East Indies 1790 2 Duits in great condition, that is if we don't count the '1780' Maria Theresa Thalers

I have a few Ancient coins in my store, as for keeping them in good condition its not a difficult thing to do. I keep all my coins in individual paper envelopes which were especially made for coins to be stored in. Avoid using any old paper as it could contain chemicals which will degrade your coins. What sort of coins are you interested in?

Now these are old.
They're my first B.C. coins, from the Chou dynasty. The one on the top (Scimitar money) was made around 580 B.C. and the bottom (Knife money) was made from 680 B.C. to 280 B.C. I also have Chinese coins from 700 B.C. but they aren't as nice looking as these.

Yes. Those are cool! I have seen some of those on Ebay from time to time but I'm scared of buying fakes. How can a person tell if knife money are fakes or not?

Quote: theemptytrunkYes. Those are cool! I have seen some of those on Ebay from time to time but I'm scared of buying fakes. How can a person tell if knife money are fakes or not?
You ask me.
Aha just kidding. Well I'm usually the go-to-guy when it comes to telling if an Asian coin is fake or not. Usually the coin is milled rather than cast if it's fake. From there on you just got to take chances.

A friend gave them to me.
Along with them came mirror and fan coins but I'm not sure they're really "coins" since I can't really find them online.
Do you guys know the exact years of the coins?

Chinese knife and scimitar cash are most likely to be fake - send to local museum or overseas one to appraise it; a good one is the Nanjing state museum (not sure translation is right)
** My oldest coin is a Greek tetradrachm (4 dramaes, silver) minted in Athens from 500-38 BC
Very nice coin

My oldest coin is I think is a Russian 5 Kopeks - Nicholas I coin from 1839 (HA).
I don't collect ancient coins. I am just starting to collect coins from the 1800's era.

Here's my oldest. It's not that old, but the alignment's pretty off.

It depends what you're after, you can pick up old bronze Roman coins for as little as £5 but these are in a poor state of decay. If you are willing to spend around £30 you can get some quite nice coins in Bronze, Billon and even Silver. (Billon being an alloy of mostly copper and some silver)

As I only collect German coins.
The oldest coin I have would probably be a little Silver Pfennig from Landshut Bavaria. Dates From 1475 - 1500 Geog I.

I only just started collecting coins this year after being inspired by a recent world trip, so for now my oldest coin is a 1821 British farthing. I actually have no idea how it even came to be in my possession

My oldest dates from around 40-60 BC. It's a Celtic coin from France and its name is potin selisv au genie ailee (French). It comes from the tribe of the (Häduer/Aedui/Eduens) of the type Secisv/Selisv. Only a few of those have been found so far. Unfortunately it's not in the best state.

My oldest one would have to be a Soloman 1 AR Denar from 1063-1074. I don't know very much about it as I don't collect ancient coins.

My oldest coin is a Joseph II, 1788 half Kronenthaler, minted in Vienna. Not very old, but rather well preserved. Kronenthalers were used and minted throughout the Habsburg Austrian empire of the 18th century. The city where an Austrian coin was minted is identified through a mintmark. E.g. "A" means Vienna (and usually is rather common).
The 1780X Maria Theresia thaler is a restrike, originally for trade purpose. It always carries the mintmark SF and has been minted in several countries, with the same grade and weight.
