from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
The discussion centered on the benefits and intricacies of collecting ancient coins, with Dean Kinzer sharing his passion for this hobby that dates back to 650 BC. He explained the evolution of coinage, including the introduction of images and the challenges posed by counterfeiting. Dean noted that ancient coins have not yet gained significant traction among American collectors, and he aims to promote this unique collectible opportunity. He shared personal anecdotes about his father’s eclectic collection, which inspired him to establish Kinzer Coins and continue the legacy of collecting, particularly focusing on coins with biblical significance. Dean provided practical advice for those interested in starting their own collections, highlighting the challenges of the ancient coin market, including the absence of a structured grading system. He recommended educating oneself through resources like his podcast, The Ancient Coin Hour, and emphasized the importance of purchasing from reputable dealers. Dean suggested that beginners focus on late Roman bronzes for their affordability and historical significance, while also discussing the potential value of more famous coins. He invited interested customers to explore his website, KinzerCoins.com, for a diverse inventory and additional services, including converting coins into jewelry.
