Hello,
My name is Greg and I am new to
collecting Roman coins. I live in the
United Kingdom in the southwest of
England just outside the ancient city of Exeter in the county of Devon. I have always
had a fascination about Roman
history so it wasn't a big leap to be interested in the social
history associated with
Roman coins.
Following recent surgery I have
had to find a more sedentary interest/hobby so I decided to start collecting low value
Roman coins for social
history interest rather than monetary value.
As a start I have purchased some inexpensive uncleaned coins believed to be from Eastern Europe and a book or two on the subject. As yet I have to learn how to clean these coins properly which I see some interesting information on the subject is on this site.
My eventual aim is to collect coins that were in circulation at the time in the UK but I am not sure what I should be looking for so if any member can give me some advice I would be truly grateful.
I look forward any replies to my post and the beginning of a very interesting hobby.
Regards,
Greg
