<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Caesar_Augustus, post: 3139160, member: 87659&quot;]Hey, Congratulations [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER]! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I was there in your shoes exactly 2 years ago when I discovered ancients and had no idea what things were.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to give you some tips to continue developing into the hobby: (1) There are numerous website out there where you can learn about ancients (as others have pointed out above), including here on CoinTalk, so I suggest you make a folder in your favorites with all these links and read away. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (2) For identification, there are many sites, but take the legends and go on one of them (I use <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/results" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/results" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/results</a>) and try and find the coin yourself. It is super exciting. There are some rarities, oddities, and worn coins that would benefit from having more experienced eyes look at them. I think you could&#039;ve handled this one though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I really encourage you to pursue an education in ancients in addition to being the new steward for these beautiful coin. I also can&#039;t wait to see where your collecting interests end up in a year or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is one nice looking Constantius II campgate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
