<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1641992, member: 44132&quot;]That&#039;s a nice Trajan.&nbsp; Very impressive portrait.&nbsp; What kind of advice are you looking for?&nbsp; Many here will tell you to come up with a collection strategy, i.e., coins of the First 12 Caesars, or Coins of the Republic, etc.&nbsp; While those are good to have and pursue, I would suggest buying coins that are of interest and studying each to a point where you feel comfortable in your abilities to attribute and/or identify.&nbsp; Knowing and understanding how the fabric of the coin should be is important as well.&nbsp; This comes with experience.&nbsp; Unless you know your way around the ole Ancient&#039;s precincts, I might suggest LRB coins just to wet your toes.&nbsp; There are a ton of references, both books and on line.&nbsp; I like using the on line resources, but many here wouldn&#039;t trade their books for anything (except perhaps a Solidus or so).&nbsp; If you want to know the on line references&nbsp; just ask.&nbsp; I or one of the others will be glad to point you in the right directions.&nbsp; Good luck and I&#039;m looking forward to seeing your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
