[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 1230057, member: 5682"]My best advice, then, would be to buy already attributed coins from reputable sites: [url]http://stores.ebay.com/FORVM-ANCIENT-COINS?_trksid=p4340.l2563[/url] Some really nice coins go for just a few dollars but can give you hours of research and learning material. Look for coins whose inscriptions (writing) and portraits are intact. These are nice keys to researching a coin's origen and significance. Don't have money? Just look at the auctions and try to read the inscription yourself and guess the emperor depicted. Then, compare your results with the sellers' description. This is a great learning exercise. There are plenty of excellent (and free) tools on the internet. guy[/QUOTE]
