You came to the right place if you’re serious about collecting ancient coins. I&#039;m not sure if purchasing and handling uncleaned coin lots is the best way to learn <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but that&#039;s up to you and I&#039;m sure one of our members can advise you on where to obtain such coins and who is reputable.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4">Some of the most knowledgable collectors I know of are members of this forum <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m not one of them! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If ancients collectors were required to wear colored belts, as in the martial arts, I&#039;d likely wear a<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> yellow belt </span>to signify that I&#039;m in the beginner/intermediate range. I put my trust in those who I know to be experts, when I&#039;m purchasing ancient coins. Ebay is great but there are charlatans and predators to avoid <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":jimlad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and to a beginner, everything looks authentic.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4">Sign up for VCoins <a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx</a> .
