<p>[QUOTE=&quot;enochian, post: 1772202, member: 39576&quot;]Iv got a lot to learn. I spent more then half the day yesterday trying to identify my only two ancient roman coins. Which i had a lot of fun doing and during my research I learned a lot of stuff that I didn’t know. I’m currently reading the only ancient coin book my library has. titled Ancient coins how to collect for fun and profit by ted g wear 1965.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Altho this book is interesting there’s just not enough information about actual coins. This book mostly talks about the gods how the coins were made, and denominations etc. nothing to do with coin terms legends mints etc. If any one has any books they are willing to lend me or give me id be very grateful.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>website links are good to but id rather have something physical. I collect books as well as coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>List the best websites you know that will help me learn . I’m very new to the numismatic aspect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now on to coin storage. I’m not aware of any albums or even a round about average size of ancient coins ( i know they come in many different sizes) to make my own album from USA blank pages. so the only thing I can think of is a album that holds 2x2s. I may get something like this to start out with I want to keep my ancients and other coins separate <a href="HTTP://www.ebay.com/itm/1-60-POCKET-HARRIS-COIN-ALBUM-FOR-2X2-COIN-HOLDERS-/400554457405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item5d42e7f93d" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="HTTP://www.ebay.com/itm/1-60-POCKET-HARRIS-COIN-ALBUM-FOR-2X2-COIN-HOLDERS-/400554457405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item5d42e7f93d" rel="nofollow">HTTP://www.ebay.com/itm/1-60-POCKET-HARRIS-COIN-ALBUM-FOR-2X2-COIN-HOLDERS-/400554457405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item5d42e7f93d</a> Id also be very grateful if any one has any extra ancient supplies they can help out with. as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My main reason for starting this thread is to gain knowledge and to kick start my ancients collection</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My passion is any thing old with an untold history. So naturally i love coins. My main area of coins is us. But they are starting to bore me with there same designs plus them being widespread. I also love mythology so what better to collect that combines all of my passions then ancients. particularly roman and Greek Id be even more grateful if any one has any extra coins that can help to hook me on to ancients. I don’t care if they are cleaned or non cleaned. (Id prefer both) I just don’t what any one to identify them for me . I need to try and do that on my own. I’m not looking for a hand out I&#039;m looking to gain knowledge and practice before i go out and purchase my own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
