<p>[QUOTE="Reid Goldsborough, post: 207, member: 34"]Michael's point about books is a good one. Reading books enriches your appreciation of the coins, and this is possible far more with ancient coins than American coins. But I'd add coin books to Michael's list of history books. If you only read the history books and not the coin books, you can wind up with a skewed image. I mentioned Wayne Sayles' books, which are a very good introduction. But the single best introductory book on Greek coins (my area) that I've come across, which I didn't mention, is Collecting Greek Coins by John Anthony (London, Longman, 1983). Very well organized and written and very engaging.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
