<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1964072, member: 19463&quot;]I have been asked to give a 15 minute illustrated talk on ancients to a local coin club followed by a question session limited to another 15 minutes.&nbsp; Chances are good no member will be a collector and half present might not know there are ancient coins.&nbsp; Remembering I am the guy who can talk for 15 minutes about almost any coin in my collection, I need to decide what to show/say and what to hope they don&#039;t ask.&nbsp; So far I have nine slides, each showing a different group of ancients:</p><p>Greek</p><p>Roman</p><p>Provincials</p><p>Byzantine</p><p>Others</p><p>Popular Coins (Owl, Tribute Penny, Widow&#039;s Mite etc.)</p><p>Low Priced Coins</p><p>Technical collecting (errors, cuts, cm&#039;s etc.)</p><p>Fakes</p><p><br /></p><p>I am unsure whether I want to show a slide of coins too new to be ancient but still not machine made or let that go due to time.&nbsp; I could also show a slide with books and discuss for 30 seconds how to learn about coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ideas appreciated.&nbsp; Remember the 15 minutes part.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]347136[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
