<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1796142, member: 42773"]Buying bulk lots of world coins is a good idea if you or your son want coins to play with in hand. Buying a pound of ancients will probably be very disappointing. Most of those bulk ancient lots are nothing but a bunch of rocks - totally unrecognizable culls. If you want ancients in your collection, buy nice coins from the get-go. Some Late Roman Bronzes are so common they cost less than most US collector coins that are only a hundred years old. And you can find them in very high states of preservation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
