Message:: [QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2232352, member: 32619"]I was in your exact same place a few months ago. Like summer. I might still be there! I don't know enough about Sayle's books except the reviews I've read. You really can answer a lot of these questions online for free. Have you considered buying some coins? I don't mean this in a condescending way...and I hope it doesn't come off that way. You should start shopping or "window-shopping" at maybe vcoins or other reputable dealers (ask the board and they'll tell you...also check out [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] and [USER=56653]@seth77[/USER] 's sales here). Start looking. Consider buying a few that look nice that are inexpensive so you can get a feel for them. I'm still new to ancients and I'm learning a lot. I've had so much fun with them so far. So much more than my U.S. coins, but that's a different topic. I know the advice with U.S. is to buy the book first but with ancients there's so much good info available it makes it easier. I just don't want to see you getting bogged down in trying to find books instead of getting a coin. They're also very pleasing in hand! Finally, I would love to hear your opinions of the books you bought, once you get a chance to read them.[/QUOTE]
