[QUOTE="icerain, post: 2471917, member: 34514"]Welcome to the dark side of coin collecting. :D Collecting ancients are pretty fun, you can get ones as cheap or as expensive as you want. Lots of resources to read up on here and online. As far as buying goes, start off cheap and familiarize yourself with how they look. The design, portrait, texture and all those things can help you ID a coin and help you determine if its a counterfeit. Also, don't start buying from eBay until you get to know which sellers you can trust. Sites like VCoins are great as most sellers are trustworthy and you can filter your searches more specifically. As your collection and bank account grows you can look into CNG Auctions and other online sites. A few ancient collectors here also sell coins here and online. They have some really nice affordable coins. Hang out a bit and don't get too tempted into buying everything you see here, have fun.[/QUOTE]
