You know, I mean, how can ancient coins be relevant? Well, you know, a lot of Americans know that at the current time that Elon Musk is involved or trying to be a part of a department in our government. Well, it's not the first time the world's richest man has done that. The world's richest man in the time of Julius Caesar was Marcus Crassus.
All right, guys, we got Dean Kinzer here today, ancient coin expert from Kinzer Coins, right? That's correct. Yeah, absolutely. And we're going to learn about ancient coins today. You're probably one of the biggest experts in the country, I'd imagine.
I know a few things and enough to be dangerous, but I have this huge passion for it. So in terms of my kind of collective experience, business, I have, what's it called, my podcast, The Ancient Coin Hour, which we talk about ancient coins. Ancient coins are kind of a mystery to Americans. It's not something that is frequently collected.
And people can collect a million different things, but to me, there's not much more that has more feeling or meaning than holding something from an ancestor of yours from 1,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago.
Each one of these things has such an important message on them that the city or the country or the empire that made them made their most important stuff on those coins to put them out to the public. So you knew Augustus was going to make sure that you had food. Or what's it called? We were going to take care of our enemies. There's lots of coins where we conquered over this country.
other empire, where they represent all this interesting stuff. And so each one of these has a very special story to tell, and it's definitely worth knowing. Yeah, and there's only a finite amount of some of these. We were talking out there about some of the price points on these, and they get up there, right?
Yeah, they do. I would tell you definitely, Sean, that I think In terms of the market, it's kind of a little bit underdeveloped, I would think. American coins in the U.S. are very well understood and very well, you know, kind of they have slabs, they have grading, they have a very structured collection style. Ancient coins is a little different. There's a lot of mystery to it.
First of all, because it wasn't minted here. But second of all, because maybe you don't have that direct connection to, you know, your... passed from, you know, Africa or Europe or China or any one of these places. But, you know, these people, your ancestors are telling you a story. And I just get so passionate. Absolutely. Some of these are old, man. What's the oldest coin you got?
Well, coinage was invented in 650 BC approximately by the Ionians, or what is modern-day Western Turkey. Those coins were made with electrum, so gold and silver together. They were generally just globs, so like a ball of electrum. But it didn't take long. As soon as the first coin was minted, the first coin was counterfeited. Really? Yep. And so they had to advance ahead of the counterfeiters.
