<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3236469, member: 19463&quot;]I got the coins I have (all common) from names on the good list several years ago when I was trying to get interested.&nbsp; At that time several offered groups that fit what I wanted at the time - a number of assorted different common cash in decent condition for a bulk price.&nbsp; Fully IDed coins at $1.69 and $3 postage were more specific than I wanted to start but 100 different F-VF (mostly Song) for $80 + $5 postage was more like it.&nbsp; It gave the opportunity to figure out things like script styles and gave exercise to the books I had then (pre Hartill).&nbsp; I only bought a few specific coins because the emperor meant something to me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if there are sellers who cater to beginners or not.&nbsp;&nbsp; In Roman, it is easier to find a seller with an Otho than a beginner lot of cleaned coins so it might just be the current state of the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
