<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3704751, member: 82549&quot;]Actually, it&#039;s okay to start collecting ancients via eBay provided that you start small and go slowly. I recommend that you keep all your initial purchases to less than $15. You will end up with mostly late Roman bronzes (LRBs), which I suppose is as good a place to start as any, and you are less likely to buy fakes in that price range. After a while you will develop relationships with some dealers that you can trust. Then you can start expanding your range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, look for auctions of coins you are interested in and bid $5.00 on them. (Be sure to consider shipping cost when calculating your bid.) You most likely won&#039;t win the auction (unless the coin is fake, and then you&#039;re out $5 for the lesson), but you&#039;ll learn what the coins finally sell for, and over time you&#039;ll develop a sense of the relative value of different coins in different conditions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
