<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2329689, member: 19463&quot;]LRB is Late Roman Bronze which is a subset of ancients that many collectors consider beneath their notice and others consider a wonderful specialty.&nbsp; The coins exist by the millions so you can get common ones that are fully identifiable for, as Bing says, for $5 but pretty may cost $10 and prettier yet $20-50.&nbsp; It would be possible to form a collection of 100 coins not spending over $10 a coin but you would never sell them for what you paid (our local sale activities here on CT suggests that most people don&#039;t want $10 coins even if they are half decent).&nbsp; I do not recommend buying 100 $10 coins unless you think of that $1000 in the same way you think of 100 visits to an ice cream parlor (but the coins won&#039;t make you fat).&nbsp;&nbsp; A few won&#039;t kill you and might be what you want to make the decision if you want to move on to the $20 ones or the $20,000 ones.&nbsp; We have members here into both and will be happy to offer our opinions when asked.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The best place to buy cheap coins is from another collector who lives near you.&nbsp; Most of us have surplus beginner coins (not the rarities everyone wants but the ones everyone has) and would be happy to sell/trade to someone when we did not have to pay PayPal, eBay and postage fees that take all the fun out of mail order for $10 items.&nbsp; If you live near a town with an active coin club, there might be someone there who you might like to meet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
