<p>[QUOTE=&quot;britannia40, post: 3186469, member: 74818&quot;]I crossed over to ancient coins just over a month ago. I have sold some excess items and decided to use it to buy ancients to see if it was something I wanted as a long term hobby. I tried the cleaning of coins and it was a little bit much for encrusted and totally buried coins as far as time and patience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do enjoy getting some of the semi coins and cleaning them to add personal ownership to a purchase. You will probably never get lucky for rarity however you can get some great pieces with price you worked on yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to go a few routes with collecting ancients and the first was a Women of Rome set, next a Billon Tet set and a different ruler/reverse set of varied different types of coins as I find them in nice grades. I have planed to keep coins in about a VF or above grade unless its something scarce+ or unusual (Errors and designs). mostly in the Late Roman era but some exceptions and even some Greek coins</p><p><br /></p><p>I definitely appreciate the guys here who have offered help and advice, comments and just sharing as it all helps develop others. I think with the minor drama as a minor thing the forum is a great free place to learn and grown and the ancient guys sure make it a great place to hang out.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past month I have obtained coins from auctions, vcoins, private dealers. Well I know a post is worthless without pictures so....</p><p><br /></p><p>Women of Rome set to date</p><p>[ATTACH=full]821968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]821969[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Other types obtained</p><p>[ATTACH=full]821970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]821971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]821972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]821973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
