<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2845023, member: 19463&quot;]Thanks to red-spork for mentioning my site.&nbsp; I suggest a place to start is my set of &#039;Vocabulary&#039; pages where I show a sampling of coins in a half dozen major categories and introduce terms that will help you ask meaningful questions.&nbsp; Members of our CT group vary greatly in what and how they collect.&nbsp; We will be better able to help you when we know where you fit in the span of collecting styles.&nbsp; I do warn that a desire for a museum quality collection without spending over $10 a coin is not going to happen.&nbsp; Be reasonable in your expectations and there is a lot of fun to be had.&nbsp; Decide you can buy $500 coins for $5 and we will be starting with the lesson on not buying fakes.&nbsp; Start here, if Greek Coins bore you, follow the links at the bottom and see if there is any interest in the other pages:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>When you finish with them, there are over a hundred other pages but you should have come up with several questions to post here and get several different opinions on what to do next.&nbsp; I recommend attending coin shows in Florida (they have some big ones) where you can see and handle actual coins.&nbsp; I might wait until we see where this hurricane is going before making big travel plans.&nbsp; Stay safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Read Warren&#039;s pages, too.&nbsp; They are excellent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
