[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 11202244, member: 84179"]I also recommend the Books by Wayne Sayles. Especially the ones on Greek, Roman imperial, Roman provincial, and Byzantine (most common ancient collecting fields). They are short, easy to understand, and many times you can find them for cheap. I learned a heck of a lot rdading them when I started collecting ancients. In fact, I would strongly recommend reading them BEFORE you buy any coins I no longer actively collect ancients having moved on to other numismatic topics (story of my collecting life :banghead:) and most of my coins are the cheap, lower grade coins that I used them to learn how to attribute, but here are a few things in my accumulation (yes, I know the pics stink) [ATTACH=full]1525617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1525618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1525619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1525620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
