<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tenacious, post: 1147436, member: 14553&quot;]AncientRomeCoin,</p><p><br /></p><p>It has already been mentioned but <a href="http://www.vcoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com</a> is a good and relatively safe place for a beginner to start.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because fakes are common on eBay I would avoid eBay until you&#039;ve gained more experience or unless you know the seller is trustworthy. But if you still want to try eBay here are Blacklists of sellers to <b><i>avoid</i></b>. Keep in mind <i>not all</i> of the fake sellers on eBay can possibly be listed on a list. So just because a seller isn&#039;t on the list doesn&#039;t necessarily mean they are OK. But these are the worst -</p><p><br /></p><p>FORVM&#039;s NOTORIOUS FAKE SELLERS LIST</p><p>This list is kept updated.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>CoinForgeryDiscussionList</p><p>This list is over a year old. I couldn&#039;t find a more recent one.</p><p><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/message/28139" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/message/28139" rel="nofollow">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/message/28139</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So before you buy on eBay at least check to see if the seller is on one of these lists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these sellers are career fake sellers and sell fake coins every week. So if this post prevents you from buying even one fake I will be happy.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And if you are motivated to really learn about ancients you should regularly read the forums at this link below. You will learn a lot over time. Someone already posted it but I will again. -</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And that forum site owner is a trustorthy person to buy coins from -</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And some other ancient coin forums on Yahoo Groups -</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Moneta-L/messages" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Moneta-L/messages" rel="nofollow">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Moneta-L/messages</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/messages" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/messages" rel="nofollow">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinForgeryDiscussionList/messages</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And of course there are many books on various areas of ancient coin collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
