<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4515721, member: 26302"]This is a problem sir. "Ancient" coins encompass such a HUGE variety it is very easy to get lost and give up. My suggestion is to grab a hold of something that interests you and read about it and get to know THOSE coins. Start small. Like a certain Greek city? Like a certain Roman emperor? Like religious imagery like the "hand of God" or portraits of Christ? For the latter I wrote an article on them that you may like:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://6be88a1c-6568-4deb-8cbe-aa9960825d12.filesusr.com/ugd/e7a338_d898ad37fc6444d6a6cde1b2c18beacc.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://6be88a1c-6568-4deb-8cbe-aa9960825d12.filesusr.com/ugd/e7a338_d898ad37fc6444d6a6cde1b2c18beacc.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://6be88a1c-6568-4deb-8cbe-aa9960825d12.filesusr.com/ugd/e7a338_d898ad37fc6444d6a6cde1b2c18beacc.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>No, I make no money if you read it, just suggesting a resource to see how you can narrow your focus.
