<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3463934, member: 19463&quot;]To answer your specific question but NOT to discourage you from reading the links given above:&nbsp; Yes there are replicas an fakes sold on eBay but there are also thousands of genuine coins that are not worth much mostly due to their poor condition.&nbsp; Specialized dealers often have an aversion to these simply because the is not much profit in $10 coins.&nbsp; A good place to get beginner level material is from other beginners who have outgrown them or from amateur dealers that are not trying to feed a family on such items but sell at club meetings or local coin shows.&nbsp;&nbsp; It depends where you live.&nbsp; Near me in Virginia, there will be a show in a coupe weeks but you will have to check listings to see if there is something near you.&nbsp; We have a couple Coin Talk regulars who sell coins by private correspondence but again that might not be practical if you live in Europe (there is a reason not to leave some registration information blank but I am NOT suggesting you give you full address or tell everything that violates privacy).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your first job is to figure out what you want.&nbsp; In very cheap coins, you will be limited to late Roman or Greek small bronzes.&nbsp; You will not be buying large silver.&nbsp; I suggest participating in discussions here asking questions. You can contact members by Private Conversations here when you figure out who might be of help for your situation.&nbsp; Most of us started off buying things we now wish we had not (paid too much for junk, etc., so becoming active here might allow you to avoid some of the easy mistakes or not feel bad when you make them.&nbsp; Start now by reading the thread offered by <font size="4"><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/ocatarinetabellatchitchix.99554/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/ocatarinetabellatchitchix.99554/">Ocatarinetabellatchitchix</a>.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
