<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2227215, member: 56859&quot;]I&#039;ll go against the grain here and suggest that you simply buy a few ancient coins which appeal to you and which are not too expensive (whatever &quot;expensive&quot; means to your budget).&nbsp; Buy from a reputable dealer.&nbsp; Then, study them.&nbsp; See if you want to buy more of that type (whether Greek, Roman Republic, Provincial, whatever).&nbsp; Test the water with a few coins.&nbsp; Read whatever you can from online/free resources.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having at least a few coins in hand will make the learning much more fun!&nbsp;&nbsp; Once you get a little time and reading under your belt, refine your wish list, consider buying books about the general types/eras/cultures of interest, then buy more coins.&nbsp; Repeat repeat repeat <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Compared to US coins, most ancients are an incredible bargain.&nbsp; You can buy some amazing coins at a fraction of the price of monotonous US coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
