FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/26/2014 1:23 pm I neglected to mention pishpash that our 'newbie' (as I learned from an email) is retired US Army so the thought occurred to me late last night that this theme in particular might have some resonance. Across the distance of two thousand years feeling a "kinship" of sorts is a rather extraordinary thing (I think !) Report this Post to the Staff

metalman1933 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 10:02 pm I recently started ancients myself. I have approached ancients with the same process I approached U.S. coins years ago: 1. Read 2. Study & Learn 3. Buy the right piece first. Doing these in any other order can prove problematic! Avoid "problem" coins if you can. Damaged, bent, etc. These will be hard to get rid of later. For ancient coins, a binocular microscope (10x - 30x) is very helpful to me. Bought mine on Amazon for $120 and makes the reading of the ancients a whole lot easier. I have honed in on the Byzantine Empire coins. I don't really know why other than the history that goes along with them is quite fascinating. Good luck in your venture! Report this Post to the Staff
