<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JGGonzalez, post: 2635788, member: 84491&quot;]Mmarotta has some good advice - books before coins. The first coin dealer I met was kind enough to loan me the Sear Greek and Roman books. He insisted that I read them before he would sell me anything. </p><p><br /></p><p>He also suggested that if I couldn&#039;t afford the latest editions of Sear&#039;s books, I should look for the older versions because a lot of the info was still useful. You might want to try that. I found a few for sale in a used bookstore. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you start collecting Roman coinage, David Vagi&#039;s books are pretty good. They retail for hundreds, but I got the set on eBay for about $50. I&#039;d also suggest going to a few coin shows and sign up for as many mailing lists as you can. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best of luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
