I'm getting a little interested in at least collecting a few just to have a different theme to focus on. What time frame covers ancients? Like what is the cut off for considering a coin to be ancient? What are the most common ancients that would be comparable with say, the Lincoln cent? How much numismatic premium do ancient silver and gold coins usually hold? Is it more difficult to spot fakes since they were so crudely made compared with moderns?
