My name is Rasiel Suarez and I have been a numismatist studying and working with Roman and Byzantine coins since 2001. In 2002 I founded Dirty Old Coins and had my first book, The Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins, published in 2005 with a completely revised edition expected in 2009. I offer professional services available in the following areas:

Coin Certification

This service gives you my professional opinion regarding the authenticity of your ancient Roman Imperial or Byzantine coin. A detailed report is furnished along with a high quality photograph of the coin on archival grade photo paper. The certificate may then serve as proof for insurance purposes or as a reference within your collection. Please click on the sample photo for more details.

Photography

I've photographed coins for various clients professionally since 2002 with a portfolio valued at over a million dollars both on-site and through the mail. Coins photographed will usually be available by email within a few days of receipt at my office and may also be ordered on a custom CD-R for a nominal additional fee. Please click on the sample photo for more details.
In order to best serve your needs please contact me by email at rasiel@dirtyoldcoins.com prior to sending any coins.
