<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3123159, member: 32619&quot;]Glad to see you getting ready to jump in! My initial approach was to find coins that interested me in some way. Military themes were an easy start. Religious imagery always interests me like altars, temples, tools, god&#039;s, mythological creatures, etc. Maybe animals interest you? How about &quot;impressive&quot; coins like the large issues from the Ptolemies or the super tiny Greeks? </p><p><br /></p><p>I suggest you just sort of look around at posts here, check out some of the links provided, and explore what interests you. No right answer. My collection spans from 460 BC to AD 1180 from a variety of regions and empires. There are some very advanced collectors here that specialize in ancient Eastern coins. I can shoot off some to shop from...eBay seller jzvarious ([USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER]&nbsp; ), [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] &#039;s store, <a href="http://augustuscoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com</a> , Civitas Galleries, and FORVM Ancient Coins (bit pricey but great resource). Of course there are two vCoins sellers I would not hesitate to buy from - [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] and [USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER]&nbsp; who both engage here and are prior service. Also check out [USER=76544]@Brian Bucklan[/USER] &#039;s shop at <a href="http://www.bargainbinancients.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bargainbinancients.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bargainbinancients.com/</a> Feel free to message me anytime![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
