<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5130840, member: 80952&quot;]I have been a modern coins and banknotes collector for about 7-8 years, this means a little studying, market research ... but I have been a collector since I was a little kid. </p><p>My sources are mainly well known sellers from sites similar to ebay and also from Facebook numismatic groups. Also a friend from Germany who sold an entire collection with coins and banknotes from my country and I got quite rare items at bargain prices. </p><p>A few months ago I decided to switch to ancient coins and my sources are clear - well known auction houses, with good history, user friendly ... you got the picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just some advice for you</p><p>- if you are a beginner, don&#039;t get too excited about coins described as &quot;extremely rare&quot;, &quot;XF-AU-MSXX&quot;. Many times (not always!) this is just, let&#039;s say overrated, don&#039;t buy without checking</p><p>- check the correct price from different sources </p><p>- stick to well known dealers/auction houses with good reputation</p><p>- what I learned in my numismatic experience - if something is too good to be true, then usually it isn&#039;t true. I&#039;ve had my share of bargains and surprises, but if it happens weekly it can&#039;t be a surprise</p><p>- try to set a goal - you want US coins, between years 1xxx and 19xx (for example), or Roman coins from the emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian (just an example again) etc.</p><p>- if you are unsure, try to find documentation and ASK. I always found answers to my questions on different forums, including this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
