<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3336714, member: 19463"]You will learn more from 500 Fine denarii than from 50 EF ones or one aureus but one of the things you will learn is you won't be able to sell them as easily if that ever becomes a concern. The current fad is not how much you can learn from the coins but how little effort you can get away with and make other people ooou and aaah over your coins. There are many exceptions to this and many of them spend time on this list. I agree with Valentinian on the matter. Your first coins need to be educational. Your first coin need not be rare or expensive. There will be time for that and you can make mistakes more cheaply until you learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
