This is excellent advice, and what I did as a novice, though I was already focusing on a set of emperors at the time. Browsing VCoins.com is a...
Of course you have @dougsmit's great articles on FORVM. And the author himself, right here. Not to mention @Ken Dorney. Both excellent people...
I will second the recommendation of the Wayne Sayles books. Here is another introductory book that is published by Whitman. It should be easy to...
I lived in Africa for a year! I've seen wild zebras that weren't in a zoo! But do I have any zebras on coins? Noooo! You'd think my collection...
Feeling rather undereducated about now... :sorry: Bravo, @Roman Collector. That sounds more plausible.
Zebras? LOL Gee, thanks, that's SO much easier! My problems are solved! At least with tigers, I used to own a coin with one, despite the lack...
LOL ROFL - that's even better! :P Sounds like Engrish. I love the bit about vegetables and cosmetics. Literally laughed out loud over that...
Yeah, on second thought, don't go flipping it around. :P Good luck on the ID. Someone with a bit more helpful information should be along...
Neat coin! Carry it with you so you'll have it anytime you need to resolve an important decision with a coin toss. Tip: always use this coin,...
Fascinating factoid! Thanks for sharing that! I can't watch that video on my present connection, but will, later.
Darn, I'm tigerless. I've enjoyed seeing the themes play out, though!

I'd buy some. I had one of the Roman coin posters put out by Dirty Old Coins. They're great. But our good Deacon could produce something even...
Because of those tiny bronze Bees I found in that uncleaned lot several years ago, I tend to forget about these "Big Bees" in silver!
I agree with what everyone here has said. Even @jwitten. If I collected only ancients, I would keep them raw - maybe in nice Abafil trays - but...
I remember passing up many nice tokens in the days when I was keeping tight focus on "sets". Nowadays I don't have to. I'm free! (Or...
Nice bee! No sting there, hopefully. I found some tiny bronzes with the same bee motif in an uncleaned lot, once.
PS- I've sold my entire collection (not counting those detector finds) at least three, maybe four times in the past forty years. Sort of the way...
I Call This One 'THE' Coin [IMG] That story tells how that coin played a tiny part in my own new beginning (which was a reboot after my life...
Yes, and do you use public domain images? (I'm thinking in terms of your publication future.)
