<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8327857, member: 118540&quot;]If you just want to see what&#039;s out there, there are some books, that are helpful. Some books have dollar values for the coins (for example, the Sear books), but the books are old, so the dollar values are not current. But, you can get an idea of the values of coins, relative to each other. But, those relative values can change, because of new discoveries of hoards, or when a country becomes less isolated from the rest of the world.</p><p>If you&#039;d rather not spend money on books, then you can get an idea of what&#039;s out there, by visiting ancient coin dealers such as Vcoins.com, or by viewing various ancient coin auctions such as CNG.com.</p><p>Here are some books, that I like, that show a lot of what&#039;s out there, but not everything.</p><p>For ancient Greek coins :</p><p>Sear : Greek Coins And Their Values : 2 volumes</p><p>For ancient Roman coins :</p><p>Sear : Roman Coins And Their Values : 5 volumes</p><p>For Byzantine coins :</p><p>Sear : Byzantine Coins And Their Values</p><p>For ancient coins from Africa, the Middle East, barbarians, etc :</p><p>Sayles : Ancient Coin Collecting VI : This is volume VI of a series of books by Sayles.</p><p>For ancient Chinese coins :</p><p>Hartill : Cast Chinese Coins[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
