<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 5139263, member: 84179&quot;]It sounds like you&#039;re trying to collect/attribute/value ancient coins like US coins.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it&#039;s not as simple as buying a Redbook, or Cherry Pickers Guide, or VAM&nbsp; Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; Coins were struck by hand, from handmade dies and planchets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I ran into this problem when I started collecting in the early 90s.&nbsp; I bought a copy of Sears&#039; book and quickly became frustrated when I couldn&#039;t find a listed that matched my coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The information is all over the place, books, web sites, forums like this, etc.&nbsp; The experienced members here provided some good suggestions to point you down the right track.&nbsp; From my experience, anceints became less frustrating and more rewarding when I stopped trying to use the same methods that I did for modern US coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
