<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 248481, member: 9204&quot;]Ancient coin collecting may look expensive on the outside, but, in reality, its MUCH cheaper. Mostly&nbsp; because you don&#039;t have gradeflation running up prices on coins. A nice ancient sells for good money because its a nice coin, not because its &quot;MS-68 RB!!!!!&quot; Also, you can often get ancient coins unidentified at shows for decent prices. Every coin you buy is cherrypicked. :-D</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One last thing - despite what people tell you, don&#039;t buy price guides. AT BEST the prices are grossly overestimated for the common stuff and grossly underestimated for the rare stuff. Buy identification books, thats what you really need. I&#039;d recommend, for the beginner, Roman Silver Coinage or Roman Coins by David Sear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
