<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 378629, member: 12789&quot;]Best advice I can give you on ancients is buy the book or do the research online before you dive in and buy a coin.&nbsp; The coin you got is not bad for the nominal price, but that part of my collecting mantra changed as I grew in collecting.&nbsp; I have gotten to where I would rather do without something than accept some little niggling flaw that would bother me about the piece forever more.&nbsp; I bought some banknotes even last year that I am upgrading, and replacing, and wish I had never saddled myself with the lesser stuff in the first place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I view my ancients as historical and wonderful pieces of art:</p><p><br /></p><p><u><img src="http://www.geocities.com/scottishmoney/greece/sirakusa1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></u></p><p><u><br /></u></p><p>How can you not fall in love with Artemis / Diana and the Winged Thunderbolt?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients open up a whole new world of art and culture, they are enigmatic and specialised in the collecting realm, but all so rewarding.&nbsp; Please don&#039;t let one less than appreciable experience stain your interests in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
