About Us

Historic Coinage has been providing collectors with hammered coins online for more 17 years and is proud to continue offering a wide range of material & great service.

Being a keen collector myself, and a former archaeologist, I know that finding the right coin at the right price is key. All of the coins are guaranteed genuine and as many coins are directly from fellow collectors' collections, there's a wide range of coins to choose from.

I'm always on the lookout for coins, whether for my own collection or to help fill a gap in someone else's. Fair prices are paid and the option of consigning coins to Historic Coinage is also possible. I am also able to bid on your behalf at various auctions, please do get in contact to discuss this.

I look forward to helping grow your collection. Do let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Kindest regards,

Clive.

Please see some testimonials below from clients over the years:

"Kindly allow me to vouch for Clive's professional ethics...In the milieu which Clive inhabits, exceptional erudition in the academic minutiae of the field converges seamlessly with exemplary professional standards."

"As a non-UK resident with a passion for English hammered, making acquaintance with Clive is one of the highlights of my hobby. Clive’s expertise coupled with his readiness to assist a fellow collector challenges that of the finest numismatists anywhere. On his account, I feel as though I have a local presence in the English hammered market, as well as a trusted companion. It is abundantly clear that trustworthiness, ethics, and most importantly the interest of the hobby are what Clive embodies…and what this area of numismatics truly deserves."

"When you buy a coin from Historic Coinage, not only are you usually getting the best deal for any particular piece, sent to you promptly and inexpensively as well as protectively packaged...you feel as though he is sharing something treasured by a fellow collector with you.

Clive is ethical, very knowledgeable and adds a personal touch to all his sales. I highly recommend Historic Coinage to anyone seeking the genuine article as is Clive himself!!"

"I would just like to say a few words about Clive, the owner of this site. Now I am not a novice collector but I know next to nothing about hammered coins and so do not spend vast sums of money on them, even so, Clive has been more than helpful and respectful towards me.

The coins I have bought from him have been dispatched with speed and they are well packed, He accurately describes the coins for sale and his pictures are clear. His prices including P&P (Shipping) are not extortionate! More than this though he is willing to share his knowledge, which is extremely useful if you are just starting out or just need advice on a coin.

I buy coins & notes from all over the world and Clive in my opinion rates as one of the best sellers around and I feel no qualms about recommending him to others."

"I have been a client of Historic Coinage for several years and recommend the quality and service of this dealer very highly.

Because I purchase most of my material online, it is important to work with reputable and responsive agencies - Clive and his staff have been prompt in their service and provided quality coins to me consistently.

I receive my purchases from Historic Coinage when promised and as promised!"

“Thank you so much for your quick and efficient delivery.

"I've been buying coins online for quite a number of years and this has been by far the best experience I've had.

Clive couldn't be any nicer to deal with and the coins I've received are terrific and extremely well priced!

I've learned a lot from him as well, as I am new to collecting coins from the Tudor Era."

Nancy Troske

"I felt very confident buying from you and you did not disappoint. I received the coin today. It's very nice and it was a very fast, friendly service.

The coin got here faster than one I ordered before this one, from a US location. I also think that many sellers could honestly learn a lot from your professionalism and service.

I like buying from a person I feel is a true collector himself and seems to honestly love the coins. So often you get people who cant be bothered or are just plain abrasive.

So thanks and I wish you all the luck."

"I have to say that my first dealing with HistoricCoinage.com was quite smooth and I don't know if I've ever dealt with a nicer person.

I got the parcel in a timely manner (Surprising being that I'm in the U.S.) and will keep HistoricCoinage.com at the top of my list when it comes to Hammereds!"
