If you are going to start buying Byzantine coins, you want to follow a few tips to make sure that you are getting the best coins you can. You want your collection to be as complete and as attractive as possible. So, what are some tips that you can take advantage of so that you can buy the best coins you can?

Learn the Imagery

One thing that you should do is to learn the imagery of the coins. There are all kinds of coins that fall under the category of Byzantine because the empire spanned many years and a large area. That means that there is just an overwhelming amount of faces and images that can appear on the coins. You might not be able to identify all of them, but you should get familiar with several of them or focus on a particular era or area and learn all the images for that time. You should also make sure that you have a good guide so that you can refer to it if you are unsure about any coin. 

Ask for Provenance

The provenance is the record of who has had the coin, when they had it, and how long they had it. The provenance may also have the various prices that the coin has sold for over the years. The dealer may not have the provenance for all their coins, but they should have it for high-value coins. The provenance protects you and the dealer in case someone in the future comes and says that the coin has been stolen from them before it came into your possession. When you purchase the coin, you should get a copy of the provenance. 

Get the Invoice

When you make your purchase, you should also make sure that you get the invoice from the dealer. The invoice should list out each coin you bought and how much you bought it for and then the total you spent. Keep the invoice with all the documentation you keep for your coins. You might also have to submit it to your insurance company as well so that there is an accurate record of value in case something happens. 

If you are going to collect coins, you want to make sure that you are getting the best coins for your collection possible. There are several things that you can do that will help you get a great coin that can end up the star of your collection.
