[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2795654, member: 10461"]Of course you have [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]'s great articles on [URL='http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/']FORVM[/URL]. And the author himself, right here. Not to mention [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER]. Both excellent people to know, and by no means the only good names to know, right here on CT. Plus the FORVM site is chock full of [URL='http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins2.asp?title=Resources%20for%20the%20Ancient%20Coin%20Collector&pgc=../resources/Collectors_Resources_.html']resources[/URL]. There is so much information (and so many coins!) out there that its easy to get bewildered, and discouraged because you'll find yourself saying, "I could NEVER learn all this stuff!" Well, guess what - [I]nobody[/I] can know all that stuff. And no person, government, or museum has a "complete collection" of ancient coins. It simply can't be done. Don't let that discourage you. Let it [I]encourage[/I] you. Ancients are a wonderful field to study, learn, and enjoy, and can be collected on any budget. You might never look at other coins the same way once you've collected ancients a while.[/QUOTE]
