Before you buy anything it's best to do research first. There is a sticky section here title, Books, downloads and websites. There is tons of information there the will help you ID good from bad coins. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 08:41 am For my very first buy in ancient Greek coins, I went straight to Spinks in London. I didn't then know how to do proper due diligence before buying, so I went to a dealer of highest World reputation at the time. That was way back in 1978. Report this Post to the Staff
