<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1907547, member: 26302"]One little bit from your introductory post worries me Nathan. The part when you said you are looking for one ASAP. Don't, just don't. The ancient market is very thinly traded. If you make up your mind you need any ancient NOW you will most assuredly overpay. Ancients, even more than US coins, is a hobby where patience will reward you handsomely. If you are new to ancients, I would recommend some good books, going to Doug Smith's website and reading his articles, and many other things. </p><p><br /></p><p>Patience, sir. I do remember how exciting my first ancients were, how cool they were, how I wanted more and more and more of them. However, most of those early purchases were not very good purchases, and if I had the money back I would not buy the same thing again. Educate yourself as much as possible before spending too much please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
