<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2160840, member: 43130"]I've been wanting to do this for a while. I am a U.S. coin guy. But I had a little money and wanted to dive right in and start learning. So I picked 10 coins that "spoke to me" from a well known ancients dealer, and made the purchase. Now it's time to learn (more than just the description provided by the dealer). Special thanks to [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER], who pointed me towards this dealer about a year ago when I approached him about how to safely begin looking into ancients.</p><p><font size="6"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)"><br /></span></font></p><p><font size="6"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)"><b><i>Does anything stand out to you about these coins?
