<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 2796430, member: 74968"]Collecting ancient coins for me is much more than the coins themselves. These coins have histories. I started by reading about the coins and the time periods they came from. I read for several months before buying my first ancient coin. As others have said, read the posts on this site and try to make connections with trustworthy dealers. There are a number of threads on this site dealing with recommended dealers. Next, do not let anyone tell you what to collect. Find your own area of interest and pursue it. [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] mentioned the sometimes disparaging remarks that some can make about one's coins when they are shown and discussed on this site. Do not let anyone tell you that your direction is wrong or otherwise inappropriate. There are some members here who have done this to me and others in the past. Collect what you want how you want. You are of course free to either follow or ignore any of the above advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of all, have fun with this amazing hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
