[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 5629145, member: 112342"]I have made a list of ancient coins for a beginner ancient collector, it covers the major geographical areas of ancient world. I know that one should focus on coins that they like and type-sets for ancient coins can be highly subjective compared to modern type-sets, regardless I made this, and want to know your opinion on what some other areas/coins that are affordable and interesting for an ancient beginner (who already has some background knowledge on numismatics in general). This is my set: 1. Greek- an iconic drachma of Alexander III 2. Roman- an Imperial denarius 3. Persia- a coin from any of the Achaemenid/Parthia/Sassanians 4. A coin from the city of Alexandria 5. A coin from Judea 6. A coin from Byzantium 7. Arabic/Islamic coin 8. India- preferably a coin from a native Hindu kingdom 9. Chinese cash coin 10. Medieval Europe (can be from a region of your interest, I chose England). The coin set below is worth around 200 usd. [ATTACH=full]1242247[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1242248[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
