<p>[QUOTE="JeffsRealm, post: 2523934, member: 81515"]Thanks, I am working on the photography. I have an older DSLR camera, however it is really a pain to use. It takes great pictures but being older the software to transfer the photos doesn't work anymore. So moving them over is a long and painful process. So I tend to wait until its full before moving them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you give me an idea of what catalogs you are referring to? I did some google searching and Littleton has Ancient Roman album with a small guide. Kind of like a book for the whats what of coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, I seen the bull coin as well, I liked it for the same reason. It is something I will have an eye out for now as well. I have found the FORVM Ancient Coins when looking for a lot more information on the coin I purchased. I also found <a href="http://www.coinproject.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinproject.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinproject.com/</a> which I thought was a good reference as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>However I am a pretty avid reader, while I was pretty sure there is no Redbook for Ancient coins, I actually did read the Redbook cover to cover. I actually enjoyed it. I did skip over long lists of prices as I view those as reference material which I do refre to those charts time to time. Everything else about the coins, production and mintages and sets and medals and things I did read. However, I was looking for a good recommendation in books which would also be good reading. Like for example Ancient Coin Collecting series by Wayne G Sayles? Any good? Good place to start filling my head with information? David Sear has a series of books as well. Just curious if these were good to kind of fill my head with a lot of information to really get started. I know experience is the best teacher but just kind of looking at a good starting point which will supply me with some information. I view putting the information in my head as part of the joy of collecting as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
