<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2605865, member: 19165&quot;]So, everyone in this thread is posting rare, obscure, strange, unusual coins. I&#039;m going to take a completely different approach to this question, given the extreme newness I have to the ancient coin field. As many of you may know, I started becoming interested in ancient coinage within the past year or two. Many of you advised me to just jump in and buy a few, and get my feet wet. I&#039;m no spring chicken, and I&#039;ve been in the hobby (focused on US coinage) for a very long time - so I knew that I wanted to approach this from a base of knowledge (and with an understanding of eye appeal, grading, etc., that most newbs don&#039;t have). Well, I made a couple of ancient purchases this year, and they spurred me to read even more and learn as much as I could about the ancient coin world. It isn&#039;t any specific, groundbreaking research I&#039;ve done - but I&#039;ve read and learned quite a bit of information about ancient coins. This is one of 2 ancient coins that I purchased this year, and which aided in my efforts: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Ancients/IMG_2116_zpsmr94cfic.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Ancients/IMG_2130_zpsezj6flx6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
