If you are looking to buy old hammered coins, then you are not alone. In the past decade the popularity of hammered coins has continued to rise among people who enjoy the historical insight that they offer, as well as among dealers and businesses that are looking to capitalize on the opportunity available in the hammered coin market place.
Because of the increase in demand for hammered coins, and with the supply of hammered coins not increasing any time soon, it now takes more than just money to be able to get your hands on the prized pieces. One great way to do this is to speak with a dealer who will be able to help you get your hands on the piece that you are looking for. There are both advantages and disadvantages of opting for this method. On one hand you will have to pay more for the service associated with their help, however on the other you will be able to have more confidence that you have not being ripped off, that the piece is authentic and that you are buying something that is genuinely in demand otherwise the dealer would not have bought it in the first place.
Another way to buy hammered coins of all varieties is at auction. Gold , silver , English and Celtic Hammered coins; you name it and it has probably been for sale at a specialist auction. Through attending a specialist auction you get many of the benefits that would get from a dealer. The piece will more than likely have been checked by an expert for authenticity and it is also probably going to be a piece which is of at least moderate value. On the other hand the competitive nature of auctions, coupled with the specialist audience, could well mean that you end up having to pay much more than you would in other circumstances. As well as attending specialist auctions, you could also consider attending generic auctions to see if you can pick up any hammered coins there. You will also find that there will be less demand among the audience since it is less likely there will be specialist collectors there. When you go to an auction, in theory, you should always end up paying a fair price.
Car boot sales are a collectors best friend according to some! Many dealers and collectors attend them to see if they can pick up a bargain or, in the case of a dealer, find a piece which they can go onto make lucrative profit margins with. Whatever your end goal, you should certainly give car boot sales a try. If you find a good piece then do not appear to desperate and interested; that is a sure way to end up paying top dollar. On the downside car boot sales are unlikely to have the kind of thing you are looking for, and it can be hard to do the due diligence that should be done before making a purchase.
