[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2857865, member: 19463"]I believe I also suggested that there is a lot of free practice available without buying a single thing. The groups linked above would be perfect for this. The photos are reasonable (not great) but clear enough to allow ID. Somee time ago I offended the world by posting a Quiz on ancient coins.
