[QUOTE="sand, post: 8346111, member: 118540"][USER=138789]@Jfp7375[/USER] Welcome to CoinTalk ancients. For me, the first rule of collecting ancient coins, is that there are no rules. For myself, I just collect, what I want to collect. I collect coins, that I like, for various reasons. The nice thing about collecting ancient coins, is that you don't have to spend a huge amount of money. There are many ancient coins, in every price range. If you want to see a sampling of ancient Roman coins, you can go to [URL='http://www.Vcoins.com']www.Vcoins.com[/URL], and see lots of ancient Roman coins for sale, from the Roman Republic, and from the Roman Empire. Beware of tooled bronze coins. Just search CoinTalk with keyword : tooled I think it's good, to start, by buying less expensive coins, until you learn, to a certain extent, to distinguish authentic coins from fake coins. I think it's also good, to buy coins from reputable coin dealers, dealers who know enough about ancient coins, that they can tell authentic coins from fake coins, and who are honest, and don't sell fake coins or tooled coins. You can also search CoinTalk, using keywords like : Roman, denarius, sestertius, "aes grave", "Roman Republic", antoninianus, etc. The longer you hang around CoinTalk ancients, the more you'll learn. CoinTalk ancients has many very knowledgeable collectors of ancient coins, and CoinTalk ancients is a very active forum. Also, [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/[/URL] is a great place to look at ancient coins, from previous auctions. If I remember correctly, you may have to join and become a member, but it's free, as long as you don't need to view the hammer prices. In addition to fixed price sites like Vcoins, many collectors of ancient coins, buy their coins from various auctions. You can search CoinTalk, to see which auctions are recommended. There are also lots of good books, about ancient coins, with lots of photos and information about ancient coins. You can find such books, by searching CoinTalk. Myself, I enjoy collecting books about ancient coins, almost as much as I enjoy collecting ancient coins. Also, Youtube has some nice videos, in which people show their ancient coins. Here's a link, to some of my ancient Roman coins. [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-ancient-coin-collection-version-1-group-photos-part-2-roman.387473/[/URL][/QUOTE]
