Hey ND - you mentioned an interest in ancients. You can start here - Coins The gentleman who built that site knows more about them than anyone I personally know. He is also a WINS member - so it will be quite easy for you to contact him and talk about them
All kinds of information, supplies, websites, coin values, etc, can be found within http://dir.webring.com/rw?d=Hobbies___Crafts/Collecting/Coins_and_Currency Not only that, if you have a coin website, be it informative, buying/selling of coinage or supplies, you can get some free advertisement by listing your site in one of the webrings, or many of them. All you have to do is post a banner for the webring on the site page you wish to link to. Fair enough. I recently took on a webmaster position of this one:http://v.webring.com/hub?ring=coinlinkwebring Look around through all of them. You can spend hours in there.
Here is one I use all the time, you only have to join if you want to look up proof and uncirculated coins; a2J jess www.numismedia.com
