<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4994182, member: 84179&quot;]I&#039;ve been collecting ancients on and off for a number of years, but have not progressed much beyond the low value pieces.&nbsp; As [USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER] said, Late Roman bronzes are a great way to start.&nbsp; They are usually cheap and abundant.&nbsp; They also provide a great opportunity to work on your attribution skills.&nbsp; It took a lot longer than I thought to be able to use the Roman Imperial Coin volumes for LRBs, but at least I&#039;m not intimidated anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re just looking for a handful of historically significant coins, stick with well known and respected dealers, as others have already mentioned.&nbsp; That&#039;s what I did when I bought an Athenian Owl, Vespasian Judea Capta Denarius, and Alexander Tet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
