<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 5304939, member: 56370"]Since I’m very much a novice when it comes to ancients, I tend to gravitate toward things like early imperial Roman that are interesting even to non-ancient collectors. Like others on this thread, I’m less keen on Islamic and East Asian simply because I don’t understand the alphabets and am not very familiar with the history. That’s not to say I wouldn’t enjoy learning. Last year I went to a coin shop in Tokyo that had bins of cheap pre-Meiji bronzes identified by date and type. I’m still kicking myself for not buying a few of them and putting them in envelopes with notes. I would trust that coins sold in Japan are not fake, unlike that type of material on EBay which I assume is widely faked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
