<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2691196, member: 39084&quot;]It seems to me that some of the resistance and wariness being expressed by the other collectors on this site comes from their concern that you may be simply a middleman, buying and selling ancient coins, who poses as a knowledgeable dealer, rather than someone who has a genuine interest in ancient coins and also wants to make a business out of it as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>As collectors, most people who frequent this site don&#039;t want to be &quot;used&quot; for their knowledge, or be enablers of someone posing as an ancient coin dealer but who really isn&#039;t.&nbsp; It seems clear that your interest in ancient coins is genuine, as is your desire to know more about the coins, but it&#039;s also apparent that your eagerness to engage in buying and selling ancient coins has gotten ahead of your knowledge about the coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve discovered that this is a great site to find information about ancients, but it&#039;s not a substitute for really learning about ancient coins and being able to research and classify ancient coins by yourself, which is something you&#039;ll need to do if you want to be regarded as an honest dealer of ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not my intention to discourage you from either collecting or reselling ancient coins, but rather to encourage you to learn more about them on your own (the resources suggested in this thread are a great start in this regard) and use this site as a source only when you&#039;ve truly exhausted all the other resources at your disposal and are still stumped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
