<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2341566, member: 39084&quot;]Eight years ago when I first started purchasing ancient coins from, and through, my dealer he gave me a copy of these two books.&nbsp; They are incredibly engrossing to read, especially if you&#039;re new to ancients, but even if you&#039;ve been collecting for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug&#039;s comments above are pretty accurate but I would like to specifically quote from his review:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>Volume Two begins with a truly great 180 page introduction to collecting Roman Imperial coins. Chapters cover types, denominations, mints, dating, grading and other subjects that must be understood by someone at all interested in collecting these coins. This section alone, if published separately, would be a great service to hobby and to the education of beginning collectors.</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read and re-read these 180 pages at least a dozen times, and they never grow old.&nbsp; I wish the publisher had taken Doug&#039;s advice and published this section separately at a reasonable cost, since it would be the de facto best primer available on collecting ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I highly recommend these books to everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
