<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3229201, member: 19463&quot;]I know absolutely nothing about the market and laws regarding ancient coins in your country.&nbsp; Still I find it hard to believe that those are what is considered collectible at any price.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess this is just a matter of opinion.&nbsp; I have been told for most of my 50+ years in the hobby that I am wasting my money buying the low grade coins I usually buy and show here on CT.&nbsp; It does not bother me so much because I feel like I get value from the education associated with owning coins that are fully identifiable and, to my standards, attractive.&nbsp; While I might be able to ID the coins you show, I have to agree with those who say to save the money and buy something just a bit better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would suggest you put some effort in finding out if anyone in your country collects ancients.&nbsp; If there is a coin club that includes such people, make contact with anyone who might be able to guide you to local sources.&nbsp; Postage from your home town will be more than the value of the coins so I would expect $3 of that $4 cost is to cover the envelope and postage.&nbsp; I can not say what the coins are worth since I know no one who buys this grade.&nbsp; You might find a local collector who would give you better coins.&nbsp; Again, I do not know the laws in your country but you might check to see if there are ancient coin specialists in surrounding areas if you are allowed to visit.&nbsp; I am currently concerned with the politics of coin collecting to the point I will not send ancient coins out of my country.&nbsp; You need to learn and abide by the laws of your country and those surrounding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
