I have almost six feet on my shelves devoted to my numismatic interests, and that is not counting my journals! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You might also want to find what period interests you most, or what historic figure interests you most, and then narrow your research and collecting. After almost ten years, I started focusing on just fourth and fifth century Roman coinage, until I finally narrowed down to collecting bronze coinage of Constantine I.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheap uncleaned coins can also be a fun and easy way to learn. and I used to advocate that everyone should spend a bit of time with them. You really develop your attribution skills with them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wayne Sayles has a good series for beginners and Van Meter is probably the best single volume for new collectors of Romans. There are also many websites about ancient coinage, including mine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
