More Information About Us:
Iconic Coins and Collectibles is the result of thirty years of collecting. We collected coins that we felt represented a cross section of a typical classical collection, including common Greek and Roman ancients, English and some Continental European.
We purposely stayed away from American coins because of their commonness and high prices-- and because our
interest, like that of many coin collectors, is partial to the history of ancient and European coinage.We bought coins between the mid-range and high end in value, and all our coins are very fine, extra fine or better-- most are extra fine.
All of our coins have been duly authenticated and graded by professionals at NGC or PCGS. So, there can be no question of their authenticity or grading.
