<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3541629, member: 44316&quot;]I presume that &quot;Coin Chat&quot; allows responses that refer to other types of coins, including ancient coins (think Julius Caesar or classical Athens). Instead of having to worry about condition (which is all-important in US coins) why not worry about interest? Are the coins you collect actually interesting? Do they have good stories?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my FAQ site for beginners:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an entertaining CoinTalk thread:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/follow-the-coin-theme-game-ancient-edition-post-%E2%80%98em-if-you-got-%E2%80%98em.300099/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/follow-the-coin-theme-game-ancient-edition-post-%E2%80%98em-if-you-got-%E2%80%98em.300099/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/follow-the-coin-theme-game-ancient-edition-post-‘em-if-you-got-‘em.300099/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Learning about ancient coins from CoinTalk members:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/learning-about-ancient-coins.323737/#post-3192010" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/learning-about-ancient-coins.323737/#post-3192010">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/learning-about-ancient-coins.323737/#post-3192010</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What do people collect?</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/for-beginners-who-ask-what-should-i-collect.308319/#post-2950249" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/for-beginners-who-ask-what-should-i-collect.308319/#post-2950249">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/for-beginners-who-ask-what-should-i-collect.308319/#post-2950249</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you follow any of those threads you will see that if you delve into ancient coins you can enjoy their stories (of the types, not just the question of whether it is mint state or not).</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to the CoinTalk ancient forum:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/">https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and we will be glad to help you get started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
