Antiques also have historical and archaeological value. Objects from various time periods help to establish new historical facts, which were up till then unknown to science. Archaeological findings sometimes have priceless values, and are put in museums for safekeeping. Antique shops around the world sell different items, pieces of the past, such as antique statues or antique perfume bottles.

Collectors explore antique shops in search for antique coins; they also offer coins for sale or trade with other collectors, looking for the rare exemplars.
