[QUOTE="AnemicOak, post: 558582, member: 5224"]You're right it is a neat coin. You can get some really nice LRB's (Late Roman Bronzes) for under $50 or you can get a nice Imperial Era Denarius in that range too. Greeks get a little tougher in that range, but they're out there too. Just have to keep an eye out. VCoins is a good place to shop, but I'd stay away from ebay at least until you've got lots of experience. You also might consider at least the first book by Wayne Sales... [url]http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/saylesandlavenderbooks/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=21[/url] Good sites to check out besides here would be Ancients.info and Forumancientcoins.com Lastly if you're looking at a coin and are worried about authenticity (shouldn't be a big problem when sticking to VCoins) post it and ask. Plenty of folks will take a look and give their opinions and/or forward you to someplace else for more info if need be.[/QUOTE]
