My First Ancient Coin And The Lessons I Learned.

I hear ya!! Funny what a couple of bucks can do, some excitement, and a few hours... You'll never forget what you learned that day for the rest of your life... Speaking of first ancient coins, I am overtaking my fathers collection of 40 some years... I have watched him over my life and know the basics plus my own endevours. My lastest crave is to know and inventory his ancients... What was your solid source of info for the ancients? Seems very hard to come by, and byy amount, I feel I will die prior to understanding where and what ever coinn in the ancients he had? Also, being new to potentially selling some extra coinage and bullion I have, what have you or your buddies been doing to sell your coins when wanting. I hate the ebay rush rush feel... Craigslist is way too unprofessional. I would rather put a few coins a week perhaps on some forum/auction website where not only can an auction take place but professional and intellectual converstation can come from the listing rather than battle of the dollars? Any pointers? Are there websites that offer such a thing without the 12 percent cut you take from ebay and such? Sorry for rambling?

Thanks
