[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1977321, member: 25357"]Welcome to the dark side!:vamp: I switched from US coins to ancients 18 mos ago and haven't looked back. Sure...you coulda' bought a Gordian Ant in that condition for less. But $25 is an inexpensive first lesson. And look at it this way, now you have a coin that circulated almost 2000 years ago. Now [I]that's[/I] cool. You've jumped in! I also found out my LCS didn't really know up from down when it came to ancients. But that can also lead to opportunities!;) Half the fun is in the journey. Post your coins here. The collectors in this Ancient forum won't steer you wrong. They can also give you tips on everything from how to take clear, well defined photos to identifying coins and attribution to grade and value. You've come to the right place. Good luck![/QUOTE]
