<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Uncle Herbie, post: 156924, member: 5191&quot;]Like the title says I&#039;m curious about world and ancient coins. I know next to nothing about either, mostly because I&#039;ve had all I can handle with U.S. coins on my budget and if I were to spread things any thinner it might take the fun out of it a bit. I have read a few things on here about U.S. coins being overpriced and overvalued and about alternatives and have been thinking about looking into these alternatives. Right off the bat I&#039;ve got some questions and would appreciate any help anyone cares to throw out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, how did you decide on what you collect? World and ancient seems to me like it would be an overwhelming amount of choices and I really have no idea where a person would start. It&#039;s downright intimidating to me to think about how many directions a person could go with this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, how do you get the coins you collect? I&#039;m in Indiana and there isn&#039;t a whole lot of choices outside of U.S. coinage. I&#039;m guessiing online dealers and auctions are the best bet but I&#039;m wondering if there are any other choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third, how do you go about collecting these? I&#039;m guessing it depends on what you collect, if there are date and mintmarks you could go that way, like Lincolns, or by the year only if that applies, like most of the IHCs. What other choices are out there?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Mark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
