<p>[QUOTE="Mikjo0, post: 156988, member: 3565"]Uncle Herbie,</p><p>Since I basically like all coins,I decided early on,after getting my US proof sets,mint sets,Silver dollar date set and the usual albums of nickels,cents etc.that I would start collecting ancient coins.I picked up a few Roman and Greek coins and finally figured out that what I would do is create a timeline from 600BC all the way to the end of the 19th century.These are kept in seperate albums and include everything from Celtic bronzes to Byzantine gold and brass...etc.Everything is put in the albums by date only.This makes it interesting because you can see which kings,queens and emperors reigned simultaneously since their coins sit right next ot each other.I can tell you that when I show these to people,they are totally blown away.The only drawback is that every time I get a new coin,I have to move EVERY coin in that album that falls after it in time.As far as where I get them,there are three dealers in my area that stock ancients and I also buy from the reputable dealers online.If you'd like I'm sure we could come up with a good list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
