Ancient coin study, collecting and investing is a vast hobby that can be overwhelming with a wide range of values and rarity in these coins that were hand struck for over 1,000 years.
Some rare types commemorate major historical moments in the history of western civilization, while others represent the highest levels of artistic and technical achievement in numismatics. Some types are so rare that only a handful survive today, while there are abundant types that can be obtained by most collectors on a firm budget. With some due diligence, any collector can establish the relative value and rarity of most ancient coins.
ONLINE RESEARCH
One of the best places to start is with online research. This should include checking typical auction sites such as Sixbid.com or Vcoins.com. Sixbid is a popular online coin auction platform featuring many auctions each year from over 100 reputable auction houses all over the world. Tracking and partaking in these auctions is a great way to enjoy the hobby. Vcoins is an online marketplace that features over 130 dealers and over 90,000 ancient coins for sale at any given time. These websites can help collectors determine the approximate value of their coin using online tools to determine the availability of a certain coin type and its approximate range in value.
Another great way to determine value is to attend coin conventions where many top dealers assemble to auction their wares to the general public.

John F. Kennedy Half Dollar Turns 60 - Memorializing a presidency cut short
The attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump's life at a campaign event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, could have been more significant than it was. Trump's ear was clipped, but the 45th president survived.The last time a sitting or former U.S. president survived an attempted assassination was in 1981, when a man obsessed with actor Jodie Foster shot the recently inaugurated President Ronald Reagan, who survived the attack. Sadly, there was no similar good fortune for President John F. Kennedy nearly 20 years earlier. One of the darkest days in American history occurred on Nov. 22, 1963, when a lone gunman drew his weapon and assassinated President Kennedy during a motorcade procession in Dallas, Texas
