<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3446107, member: 19463&quot;]I find your post both wonderful and troubling at the same time.&nbsp; Communicating your lack of knowledge on the subject is a major part of collecting ancient coins.&nbsp; Any person who claims to have all the answers about this huge subject simply does not understand the questions.&nbsp; The rest of us, beginners and long term collectors, are constantly learning.&nbsp; I fear that I am forgetting some details I once had under control.&nbsp; Here on Coin Talk Ancients, we expect active participants to show their shortcomings as well as their strengths.&nbsp; Ask questions and answer others.&nbsp; I find interest in your five ancients and have between 2 and 200 examples of each (Domna is a specialty here).&nbsp; I would love to see yours and be of any possible use making them even more enjoyable to you and any other lurkers who might be on the edge of taking the plunge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly we would hope you are driven to learn to take passable photos of the ancients for posting things you can share.&nbsp; These don&#039;t have to be fancy but they do need to be in focus and close up.&nbsp; These are straight from my phone.&nbsp; I have a good camera so I never use the phone for coins and we really would prefer that you learn to crop and combine the two into one shot but first learn to get photos that show the coin clearly.&nbsp; This is a barbarous Julia Domna denarius.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]914925[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]914926[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
