<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2671946, member: 75525"]I started collecting RR silver coins by finding VF for $50 +/- a bit. I was able to find a reasonable number. One of the dealers who attends shows here normally has bargain bags and they were a great way to start collecting. I found more when I pushed the limit to $100. I keep track of my collection on a spreadsheet and try to buy coins that fill longest time holes. Start about the time Rome started issuing denarii, 211 BC, and buy one for each 50 years. There is no Whitman folder to fill. Just buy coins that look interesting. </p><p>[ATTACH]595144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]595145[/ATTACH] Victoratius 211 BC pick one of these</p><p>[ATTACH]595143[/ATTACH] Denarius TOD 189 - 180 BC</p><p>The time window from 155 to 200 BC is less common than 211 to 200 BC and 155 to 50 BC.</p><p>[ATTACH]595146[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]595147[/ATTACH] Denarius 140 BC</p><p>[ATTACH]595157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]595158[/ATTACH] Denarius 115 BC</p><p>[ATTACH]595155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]595156[/ATTACH] Denarius 63 BC</p><p>You get the idea.
