Commentary by Mark Salzberg, Founder of Certified Collectibles Group

When I first held an ancient coin in my hand, I felt the power it carried in the palm of my hand. That moment stayed with me. Over many years of collecting ancient coins, they have brought me extraordinary joy. Not only have they proven rewarding as investments, but psychologically and intellectually they have surpassed anything else I have ever collected.

As we worked at NGC Ancients to develop a shared language and consistent standards for describing these coins, our goal was to make the ancient coin market more transparent, trustworthy, and accessible for collectors around the world. Certification has helped unlock the vitality of this remarkable field. Today the ancient coin market is more vibrant than ever.

Adam Crum's book is a natural extension of that mission. This book will be the big step in a journey that brings history, discovery, and lasting fulfillment. The ancient world is vast and complex that it can feel almost impossible to fully grasp. Adam has done a wonderful job to make Roman coinage accessible, offering clarity, context, and a pathway into a deeply rewarding pursuit.
