<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Uncle Herbie, post: 157095, member: 5191&quot;]Thanks for the tips guys. I&#039;ve been looking around online and found some info but &quot;tip of the iceburg&quot; would be an understatement I&#039;m afraid. There seem to be no shortage of nice looking coins out there as well as interesting stories. I also looked at ebay and found some interesting things but also saw some auctions that had red flags going off, they kinda smelled like the unsearched wheaties deals ya know. Guess those guys are everywhere. Anyhoo, from what I understand reading up is essential, as usual, and this Standard Catalog of World Coins sounds like a good one for getting ideas. I also see references on here to this Krause book, this seems to be like a redbook for world coins if I&#039;m not mistaken and sounds like a handy book also if a person would get into those. I&#039;m guessing these wouldn&#039;t cover ancients so is there something to go by for those or would the reference material be more specialized for a subject that large? How about price guides? How do you know what to give for certain coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>For right now the uncleaned lots of ancients sounds like a cheap start and it sounds like a good ongoing project where I can learn more as I go but many of the shadier ebay auctions were for these, I can see the scam potential. Does anyone have a recommendation as to where to go for a reliable seller? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
