<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1604008, member: 26302"]It will come. Like I said, read Doug website articles, read anything you can, buy a few good books and go over them. It is weird how if you are interested in something you can absorb knowledge. There are untold numbers of coins I don't know I recognize but when I see them I do just from random readings on ancients. Also, the more you see authentic ancients, the more the fakes will stick out. Subconsciously your mind picks up the traits of authentic coins, and when one does not look like that, it immediately triggers a red alert. Best way I can describe it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You just started, but are starting to see how it works sir. Just keep at it and you will be an "old hand" at these soon enough. I still remember when Mat was starting on ancients, and look at him now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. "Sell on Ebay". I don't think Swervo realizes how much a hoarder I really am, huh? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Those few late romans I sold here were abberations, I kept 100 from the lot, sold maybe 80, but have over 300 left. I am sure one day they will just get "absorbed" into the pile that is my "collection". </p><p><br /></p><p>P.P.S. Yes Mat, I have not forgot. Just busy, sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

You just started, but are starting to see how it works sir. Just keep at it and you will be an "old hand" at these soon enough. I still remember when Mat was starting on ancients, and look at him now. :) P.S. "Sell on Ebay". I don't think Swervo realizes how much a hoarder I really am, huh? :) Those few late romans I sold here were abberations, I kept 100 from the lot, sold maybe 80, but have over 300 left. I am sure one day they will just get "absorbed" into the pile that is my "collection". P.P.S. Yes Mat, I have not forgot. Just busy, sorry.[/QUOTE]
