Calling All Ancient Collectors!!!

coinguy89

Well a little while ago I thought that I had wanted to sell my ancient coins, probably cause I didn't know anyone else who really collected them. But with cwt's I think they could be my strong point. I love ancient history, I love studying, in fact, i'm taking two classes of it next year in school. I play Age Of The Empires I and II. Both are great startegy based computer games. I mean, I just love the ancient society and whatnot. I'm asking for your help for some forums on ancient coin collecting, along with some websites with information, some good books to pick up and collecting ideas. Right now i've got about 20 coins, about 12 or 13 are identified, the rest I have no idea. I'm considering sell the unidentified pieces to buy better coins. I'm not sure yet. If you guys give me some great ideas, feedback, suggestions, and links. I'll be more than happy to post pics of them, and believe me, some are pretty neat. Thanks guys.

Hi,

Nada problem...

I've found the single best attriubtion software to be here:
http://www.romancoin.info/

Encyclopedia.com is great for reference and history of Roman generals, emperiors, etc, etc: http://www.encyclopedia.com/

www.infoplease.com is another great place to pick up information, once you've figured out who you have.

If you are still totally stuck... you can try this group over at Forum Ancient Coins :http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?board=7.0

HERE is a very basic article that I wrote on Romans, hope it helps a little. If you will post some pics I will be happy to help you ID your coins.

BTW - The books by Sear are not cheap, but if you really want to learn about ancients they are "must own" books.
