<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3300450, member: 98035&quot;]Good points made, and I do agree with Doug&#039;s point that you never know what coins will &quot;speak&quot; to you until you find one! The suggestions I put out there were just two possibilities out of thousands - ancient coins encompass 20 centuries versus 5 for &quot;modern&quot; coins, and it can be intimidating for someone who doesn&#039;t know what&#039;s out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>One word of advice though, is consult with us before going out and just buying stuff. Most of the material on sites like ebay is 100% kosher, but fakes are out there. Conversely, every coin is backed by a lifetime guarantee from vcoins and most major auction houses, but you also see people on those sites selling $20 coins for $150. Is it better to spend $20 on a fake worth $0, or $150 on a coin worth $20?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, I only suggest Roman coins because they are the most approachable for people used to coins with a distinct &quot;heads&quot; and &quot;tails&quot; and inscribed in Latin characters. My Roman emperor collection is probably my only normal pursuit. The rest are a bit more, well, eclectic...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]874175[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]874176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]874177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
