MADE TO ORDER: Domitian Raven - Gorgeous Dark Patina - Raven and Apollo (struck AD 92)
This listing is made to order, meaning I will make the pendant and ship within three weeks. This coin was purchased from reputable ancient coin dealer. The last three images are of a similar coin bezel set in 18k.
This is by far the nicest example I can find of this coin. I have never seen a coin with similar imagery. May end up keeping this one myself:). To illustrate, the last picture is of a similar coin that sold for 750 a couple of years ago (and the quality is nowhere near this one).
-- Coin information:
Domitian (81-96). Æ Semis (19.5mm, 3.61g, 6h). Rome, 92-4. Draped bust of Apollo r.; branch to r. R/ Raven standing r. on laurel branch

Why buy from Peregrine Pendants?
I specialize in setting ancient coins. As a collector, I create jewelry to share these amazing objects. Setting them, however, requires knowledge because of their irregular shapes. There are some quality competitors, but most sellers fall outside of that group. What’s even worse than a poorly set coin is one that is forced into pre-made bezels. These may be suitable for some modern, machine-made, coins, but they are not for hand-struck ancient coins. We offer a range of settings and of coin types. What setting works best depends on the coin’s characteristics and the customer’s preference. For thin coins, I prefer a prong setting, and for thicker ones, a bezel setting. I wrote a blog on settings on www.shopancient.com/blog/settings-for-coins for more information. Regarding pricing, many sellers take advantage of unaware buyers that think that something must be worth a lot since the coins are that old. In fact, many ancient coins can be bought for a modest price. It all depends on the coin and its quality. Certainly, if you are looking for an Athenian owl tetradrachm, you are going to have to spend quite a bit (www.shopancient.com/blog/athens-owl-coin) When I am done setting, I research the competition before I price any pendant. Through this process, I think I offer my items at unbeatable prices. Feel free to message me if you think you found a better deal elsewhere (for the same coin type, in a similar condition, and set in the same way).
Import fees, duties, customs fees etc. charged by the buyer's country will be the sole responsibility of the buyer. It is impossible for me to know what these fees are so please direct your questions on these matters to your country's customs department. I cannot refund postage on orders that are returned because of customs issues, including refusal to pay customs on the part of the buyer.
