Ancient Hammered Coin Auctions
Gorringes handles the sale of ancient and hammered coinage, one of the most historically rich and rewarding areas within the field of collecting.
Ancient and hammered coins offer a direct and tangible connection to the past, from Greek and Roman issues through to the hammered coinage of medieval and early modern Britain. Each coin carries with it a piece of history of the ruler who issued it, the economy it served and the hands through which it has passed, making this a field that appeals as much to the historically curious as it does to the dedicated numismatist.
British hammered coinage in particular has a strong and loyal collector base, with coins spanning the Anglo-Saxon period through to the introduction of milled coinage in the late 17th century attracting consistent interest at auction. Ancient Greek and Roman coins, with their extraordinary artistry and historical significance, draw an equally passionate international following.
Each lot is carefully researched and catalogued, with fully illustrated entries marketed online to our established network of private collectors, specialist dealers and international buyers.
If you are considering selling an ancient or hammered coin collection, or a single piece of particular note, our specialist would be delighted to discuss your items, whether at our saleroom or in the comfort of your own home.
