[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 2154032, member: 44357"]Just the gold is doubted by some, as there was a silver Eid Mar found in situ alongside a group of 124 other denarii in Greece in the late 90s (published in "Four Hoards from the Hellenistic City at Petres"). As for worrying that many popular types are modern creations, one could go a step further and start to question existence itself (the "Last Thursday" theory), and that's a slippery slope upon which to embark :) To the original poster's question, I would suggest reading as many catalogs and looking at as many coins, digitally or in person, as possible. Becoming acquainted with the distribution and variety of types is extremely valuable and will help refine your tastes and approach.[/QUOTE]
