<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2599455, member: 76194&quot;]Avoid eBay like the corpse of a rat infested with mutant herpes and rectal bubonic plague. At least until you are good enough to recognize a cast or a fantasy piece from a real coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Avoid Heritage because they only deal in slabbed ancients. Nothing says chump like spending $100 on a common coin that can be had for $35 or $40 raw from a reputable dealer all because it is encased in a bit of plastic. That dog don&#039;t hunt. Not to mention. The serious issues with NGC ancients which I&#039;m sure others here can enlighten you on, such as grossly overgading ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the names of a few dealers and websites where people who truly know ancients will sell you a raw genuine ancient coin at a decent price:</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient Imports</p><p>Civitas Galleries</p><p>Coolcoins.com --that one takes you to [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER]&#039;s vcoins.com store. Vcoins in general is a good place to get coins.</p><p>FORVM Shop</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as auction houses, some are more crooked than a barrel of snakes, and their offerings are not even worth a bucket of warm spit. But here are a few who are straight as an arrow to get your feet in the game. These people know their business and you can bid with confidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>cngcoins.com</p><p>Agora auctions.com</p><p><br /></p><p>Any of these dealers and auction houses are good. Why it&#039;s like shooting fish in a barrel with how easy it is to buy nice genuine ancient coins from those places. Not to say that they never make a mistake, after all they ain&#039;t Jesus or the Buddha, but their mistakes are rare and you get lifetime authenticity guarantee.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, Merry Christmas and Happy Saturnalia to you too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
