<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acl864, post: 369853, member: 11153&quot;]Ancients can be VERY expensive but they can also be surprisingly affordable. Just like more modern coinage the value relates to rarity and condition. Also coinage that has portraits of, or are minted during the reign of familiar historical figures can also command a premium. For example I&#039;d love to own a coin with a portrait of Alexander the Great on it- problem is alot of other folks want one too. His coins seem to always be very pricey. For my first ancient I bought a silver denarius from the reign of Septimius Severus. The prices for coins from that era were a little more in my price range. The coins from the Constantinian era are also reasonably priced. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dumanyu (who has an awesome coin pictured as his avatar-BTW!) made a good suggestion with the Forvm.com. That&#039;s where I got my first (but hopefully not last) ancient coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
