<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1787097, member: 26302&quot;]I feel you. Something about big old coppers are warm and attractive. Problem for us is every field has large coppers basically, from Roman sestertii and as, to ptolemaic greek, to roman provincial, to byzantine. All are loaded with coins you just may love. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe cruise through a site like cngcoins and see what kinds of decent ancients are offered and what they go for. I would hate you spending money on roman imperial books when you end up in love with egyptian coins, or provincials, or syracuse, etc. I agree with you on the value of a good reference. However, a great reference on a field you do not collect does you no good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, there is another side of this coin as well. Not only do you need to know what book to buy, but how to buy it. Unfortunately most good ancient coin books are oop. So, knowing how to search for them is also a learning curve. I can help with that too, I am always seaching for books and perusing book auctions. I have found a few scarcish books for people here on CT before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
