The Roman As and the Dupondius are usually less expensive than the Sestertius and almost as large. Try to find coins that are lighter in color. They are easier to view. Stay away from junk. It stays junk forever. Lastly, the collecting of ancients is the hobby of a lifetime. You will never finish with it. You will never be bored with it. I bought my first ancient in 1960, a denarius of Nerva. It is no longer a lonely coin. It has a good deal of imperial company and these coins have given me an insight to the Ancient World I could never have acquired in any other way. They are the tangible link in a chain that stretches from you to antiquity and allows you to be a part of that world. But remember that you are not ever the owner of these coins. You are a temporary custodian of them for the yet unborn. Take good care of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
