<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bullnuke, post: 842919, member: 20661&quot;]Over the past week or so I have spent an incredible amount of time(mostly enjoyable) trying to classify some ancient coins for a co-worker. The help I received here from everyone was outstanding :bow: to say the least. Now I think I have the bug, and much to my pleasure <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> my wife who thinks it is ridiculous to have an entire album of all the same looking coins has shown an interest in ancients, only problem :headbang: is I have no idea where to start. I have previously limited myself to American coinage and have diligently researched and studied each coin type prior to making any purchases. I like to say at work that I know more about lincoln cent varieties(still a novice) than most people know about their lives. I am not sure I would still be breathing by the time I had studied enough to feel confident buying the coins. I am not looking for short cuts to knowledge, but would like some advice on where to start, maybe some experiances of when you guys first started collecting ancients. I think I would like to start with the Byzantine empire but am open to sugestions if there is an easier starting point. Help please. As my signature says I work in Quality assurance and can be easily distracted by minute details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
