<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2471941, member: 76086"]Well, you didnt mention a budget, so all these comments will be all over the place! If one is on a budget, as already posted, there are plenty of mid to late Roman coins that are quite superb and can be had for $10 and up. It may take some time to find the bargains, but it can be done. If budget is not so much of a problem maybe focus on those times of history which interests you, or emperors, gods, goddesses, etc. With ancient coins there is an infinite way in which you can collect. From the focused to the random. One will never regret ancient coins if they are collecting them for the history and connection to the past which they represent. Oh, also, please, please, be sure to put part of your budget into books. They can give one so much more than just searching through websites (content of which often is wrong!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Give us some hints. I have a bag of coins which I intend to give away (was holding them for Christmas, but why not early?). Give me some ideas and I can send a nice coin your way. If in the next few days I can send one off, but I will be on vacation for a week very soon![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
