<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1184849, member: 26302&quot;]There is no one book on ancients. The closest thing I could recommend to you would be David Sears books. He did a Greek coins and their Values in the late 70&#039;s in two parts. Greek Imperial coins.. in 1982, Byzantine Coins... 1987, and the last roman Coins and their Values was 1988. He currently has 4 of 5 new Roman coins and their values out. </p><p><br /></p><p>The prices will be relative to each other, not current of course. This is as close as there is besides scanning Ebay and auction catalogs to try to get a feel of the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I would not really recommend Whitman books on ancients. A couple are fun reads, that is it. Ancient coin literature is its own field, much more so than American literature. This is because the coin types are greater by 100,000. Having so few coin types is the reason US collectors collect by date, mintmark, and even by die, due to the lack of true diversity in the field. Its not unfair, US coinage has only been around 220 years, ancients made coins for 2000 years and hundreds of civilizations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
