<p>[QUOTE="usc96, post: 1235811, member: 25676"]I know nothing about ancient coins, but have my local coin show next weekend, and would like to add an ancient Greek or Roman coin to my collection.What is a good starter coin? Would consider gold or silver. Preferably the size of a nickel or larger. Should be one that can be found in excellent condition. I like a bust, maybe with a helmet (Athena?), and an animal on the reverse (owl or horse). Pricewise, I would go up to $300 for silver, and maybe 1.5x melt for gold.Should I look for certified? What coin(s) fit my description?Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
