<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3181969, member: 26302&quot;]Good thoughts. My wife is Thai, and I have a very extensive early/medieval Thai collection now. Still hasn&#039;t really interested her in coins, but thought it would be important to show my sons the other half of their heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Books are of course good, but the other half of the ancient world is seeing what is available generally and what is rare in the marketplace. Take my avatar. I have books of literally dozens upon dozens of different types of the Vahran II coins like this. So many variations one would think they are very common. However, I may find 4 or 5 a year for sale in nice grade if I am lucky. There is a big difference between what books show for coins versus what is available to buy. Best way to learn this is perusing dozens or hundreds of auctions for ancients and seeing what becomes available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
