[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4186992, member: 15481"]Welcome to a great hobby. There are days when I regret getting into coins, but they are few and far between. It’s a wonderful learning experience, and no aera is more educational than ancient coins. Please take your time with the purchases now at the beginning. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with owning a 2300 year old uncirculated coin from one of the most famous conquerors of all time, but it’s good to read a bit and decide what area you really want to get into. We just can’t collect them all :) Your experience with swords will be useful with coins too, I think. You have probably a developed eye for quality and intuition for fake or overpriced items. Have you given any thought to where you want to go with the hobby? Greek coins, Roman coins, Oriental, Anglo-Saxon, British Hammered, Crusaders, Tudors? :)[/QUOTE]
