<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 5358935, member: 75143&quot;]I started collecting early in 2020 and it&#039;s been a real trip. I first got interested in ancient coins on a whim, when I was here on CT mostly for US coins and foreign paper money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought some uncleaneds a few years back and was disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>But this year I decided to truly take the plunge. It&#039;s been pretty fun spending (wasting) lots of money on the school of hard knocks, learning what I do and do not like.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found myself slowly gravitating towards LRB and large provincial coins, for various reasons (mainly cost!)</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the book - I have used Tesorillo and Wildwinds religiously to help identify and attribute coins - but these are so heavily image-based that without an image to compare with, I am pretty much lost in terms of IDing a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This book would help me better learn how to ID coins from texts, which are often more comprehensive than websites.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whomever wins this book is going to really find themselves elevated in terms of knowledge and collecting prowess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
