Theauthenticityof these artifacts is my highest priority.
I want the order to meet your expectations! Please reach out with any questions or requests.
*But are you absolutely certain that these are authentic?*
I spend a lot of time researching coin dealers, antiquities sellers, and metal detectorists, and I am certain that my suppliers are among the most credible of those available.
Please send a direct message if you are curious about my sources.
*What does "authentic" mean?*
*What sort of artifacts will I receive?*
I will try to update the listing's photos as I grow my inventory... however, to maintain the integrity of the "grab bag", I'd like there to be an element of surprise. Rest assured that every customer will likely receive at least one ancient coin. Other artifacts include coins, jewelry, and tools. I try to keep the selection diverse.
*How do you know these items are authentic historical artifacts that were made and used by people thousands of years ago?*
I have a BA in Art History, studied for a MA in Heritage Preservation, trained as a Numismatist, participated in several archaeology digs, and assisted in curating a few museum exhibits. I'm interested in this stuff, so the items that you receive are the same that I collect for myself. They are all carefully selected and researched.
