These days a lot of attention is being paid to Ancient British gold staters and rightly so because they are remarkably rare and fantastically fascinating ancient coins. A lot of money is currently being paid for them too and rightly so because there aren't enough top grade examples around to satisfy the demand and because, despite their premium prices, they are still undervalued when compared with Greek and Roman gold coins of comparable scarcity and interest. However, it is worth noting that some opportunities are being missed with Ancient British silver coins which have been somewhat overlooked by collectors in the past couple of years. For example, there are three important silver coins in our July list which are currently great value for money: a Chichester Boar at £350, a Sudbury Snakeheads at £375 and a Tasciovanos Griffin at £375. In years to come we suspect that a number of collectors will regret not having snapped up these extremely rare silver coins while they were still affordable.
