<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2354816, member: 73266"]Thank you very much. Being a US coin collector first, I understand the experience needed to help with identification. I rarely see a coin I don't know a little about, or enough about to easily help with research. Being new to ancients, makes this quite a bit more challenging. One thing I learned, just by posting this thread was when you said to start with identifying the reverse. Totally opposite of what I would do with moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see lots of coins posted on this site and if I see something interesting, I research it for any info I may not know. I haven't done that with ancients because I really don't have enough experience to even know where to start. The funny thing is that if I aquired a exceptionally rare coin, it would just be luck, because I would have no idea. I do have enough of an eye to comfortably stay away from the fakes, and I have seen many, but my inexperience may have kept me away from an authentic coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
