[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2950303, member: 44154"]Your website is loaded with information that I have read many times and you have a very good selection of coins for sale as well. One day I will buy a coin from you when my spending budget returns to former levels. For now I'm window shopping, lol. Here is what I think but ultimately, each person will develop their own method. The great thing about collecting ancient coins is that there are so many things to do and so many regions to collect. At first it may seem confusing and over-whelming about learning and obtaining ancient coins. Once you have just five years experience you will know what to do. Information can be obtained in many ways including online websites, literature and books, word of mouth on forums and Facebook type of social communities. I started with Roman Imperial for several practical reasons as well as liking the coins a lot to begin with. 1.) Roman Imperials are the most common and affordable coins. 2.) Imperials have a Latin letter set and are easier to read in the beginning. 3.) Learn how to clean ancient coins from lower cost Imperials. 4.) Imperials are arguably the best documented out of all other regions. So it makes it easier to obtain information. ----------------------------------------- Here is another tool that I am using to learn.
