<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 577092, member: 9204&quot;]Ebay is probably the best place to acquire coins of this quality - vcoins sellers tend to have higher prices for the lower stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the people I watch on ebay:</p><p>Amphora Coins - the ebay shop of David Hendin, author of the <i>Guide to Biblical Coins</i>. Some higher quality stuff, many ancient Judean coins. Probably not the first stop for a beginner. Lists about every other week.</p><p><a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:MESOI&amp;userid=amphoracoins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:MESOI&amp;userid=amphoracoins" rel="nofollow">http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:MESOI&amp;userid=amphoracoins</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient Auction House - Good selection of coins, both low quality/cheap and high quality/expensive. Avoid the silver coins of Apollonia Pontica, Istros, and Parion - they are most likely fakes. Lists daily.</p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ancientauctionhouse.com_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ancientauctionhouse.com_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ancientauctionhouse.com_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Antiquarica - Good selection of all quality coins. I recommend starting with some of the bronzes at the bottom. Lists weekly. </p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/antiquarica_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/antiquarica_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/antiquarica_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Beast Coins - Ebay shop of vcoins dealer. The place to go for high-grade late Roman coins. </p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/beastcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/beastcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/beastcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>FORVM - ebay shop of the web dealer FORVM Ancient Coins. I highly recommend them, a good selection of quality. If you see something in their shop that you like, but don&#039;t think will sell at that price, wait a while, it may appear on ebay!</p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/forumancientcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/forumancientcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/forumancientcoins_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatik Lanz&nbsp; - Ebay shop of renowned German dealer. Exceptional range of quality. Prices tend to spike at the last minute, so be prepared for sniping action. </p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/numismatiklanz_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/numismatiklanz_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/numismatiklanz_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>S*P*Q*R - Good selection of generally lower-quality coins. Decent prices. Listing seems pretty random, though. Nothing up now. </p><p><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/s*p*q*r_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/s*p*q*r_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/s*p*q*r_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also recommend borrowing from the library the Ancient Coin Collecting books by Wayne Sayles, they&#039;re a great introduction to the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
