<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2375364, member: 73165&quot;]I&#039;m not a big ancients collector by any means, but I would say the way to get started is the same as with any type of coin: read online, buy some basic books, find a coin or two that speaks to you and buy them.&nbsp; There are good introductory books available for $20-ish, and, depending on what you latch on to, you can find good, quality coins for anywhere between $20 and $200 easily to get you started.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep posting here, and feel free to ask questions, even if you think they are super basic.&nbsp;&nbsp; Try and connect with a coin club or a local collector or dealer who&#039;s knowledgeable and passionate about ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would avoid eBay like the plague (at least at first -- if you can&#039;t spot a fake, don&#039;t even try the &#039;bay).&nbsp; Stick with places like CoinTalk, VCoins, and Forvm for online purchases, or, preferably, find a local dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
