Licinius Lucullus Posted April 1 · Member Share Posted April 1 (edited) Hello and good day dear forum community, Two weeks ago I bought a whole lot of ancient Chinese coins on Ebay. I know that ancient Chinese coins are very trendy and therefore very expensive. But that's all I know. However, I was able to negotiate the seller down to an immediate purchase price of 50 USD for the whole package. I have now received the delivery at the weekend, but what do I do next? I know a few books and references for other ancient coins that I can look at. But where do I start with Chinese coins to be able to identify them? Is there a website for beginners? Is there a good book for beginners? How and where can I best identify the individual coins in my lot? Thank you for your advice and tips!
