[QUOTE="JDcompy, post: 24904235, member: 152162"]Hi all, I'm brand new to the ancient coin world. I've purchased some pre-cleaned ancient coins and I'd like to start putting them in flips/books with a little slip of info next to it. Right now, I'm just copying the basics from the listing where I purchased the coin. [ATTACH=full]1600648[/ATTACH] Based on this, I'm seeing this coin is from Nabataean Kingdom. The date is between 9BC and 40AD. It's from the Petra Mint (in Jordan). On the coin is Aretas IV Philopatri and his Queen, Shaqilat. Also, on the coin are crossed cornucopias. what I don't know is the coin's "value".. like.. 1 cent.. 1 farthing.. 1 ruble.. that sort of thing. How do I go about finding out? Also, is there any info you all usually add on your coin info slips? Thanks![/QUOTE]
