<p>[QUOTE="Evan_76, post: 1847602, member: 59458"]Is there an online resource anyone can suggest to learn more about pre-1776 coins?

I saw so many things there that caught my interest, like the two pillar 8 real, the crudely made reals from the 1600, a mid-evil looking coin that had been snipped off to make change, or the bigger silver ancient roman coins that have Hercules wearing a lion's head for a hat. That is pretty cool! And that NGC grades ancients, I didn't know that as I have been exclusively using PCGS. Go figure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe there is a book/ebook you all think I should read on this subject?
