<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1572717, member: 42034&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on your interest in Roman.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting 39 years although my interests have shifted many times.&nbsp; I like foreign as rare USA stuff is really expensive in terms of nice coins for the price.&nbsp; I like the Roman 3rd century AD as the 4th century Constantine&#039;s seem harder to keep straight.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying not to buy Constantines just that I like a big variety of eras.&nbsp; I have stuff from the early Republic (cast coins) to gold coins from the 5th century AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t hold out waiting for a mint state piece: collect what appeals to you.&nbsp; Also research the types before you buy.&nbsp; Wildwinds and other on-line free services give auction prices realized for many pieces.&nbsp; Also a lot of stuff you buy when young will not be great investments but more learning pieces so don&#039;t hold out yet for expensive stuff until you get more experience.&nbsp; If at all possible go to a coin show where you can see stuff in person and talk to dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
