<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1397165, member: 26302"]Silver King, boy, starting out on "Greek" is a tough job. I literally have 200 books on greek coinage and am not even close to having all the references necessary. My advice would be to go to CNG and look over their electronic auction section under Greek. Look around, see what coins appeal to you. There is literally thousands of ways to collect Greek coins, and how to assemble a collection. Sayles is ok, but I would prefer you to start on Ancient Greek Coins from the world of numismatics series. You can buy it at times for about $30 on Ebay. "Greek" is the very toughest area to get just one book to cover it, its just WAY too vast. If you can narrow it down to Alexander coins, Athens, Magna Grecia, etc then life becomes much easier. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for making sure you are buying authentic coins, always buy from good dealers and sites like CNG, Vcoins, and similar until you know how to tell the difference.
