[QUOTE="Lord Geoff, post: 1571374, member: 42001"]Thank you very much for your reply. I will definitely look into getting those two books. So if I am going to be avoiding the dreck on ebay, are there some reputable stores online where I could browse around? Should I assume any local stores aren't even worth stopping by (I'm in Memphis)? Also medoraman I noticed yesterday in one of your posts from a couple years ago you said (paraphrased) : "you are more likely to find sellers that don't know the worth of their coins if they are selling ancients." Is this just in general, or are you more likely to find these kinds of sellers on ebay? Or is ebay just worthless for the most part? Again I'm not going into this trying to make a profit, but I do think it would be neat to be able to know something and get a good bargain. And yes I agree I am going to love it. On the one hand it is amazing that there are so many affordable coins that have been in the ground for hundreds and hundreds of years.
