    Thanks for the info. Glad I found this Forum. I never used NGC much. Mainly a PCGS guy for my US stuff but for ancients it looks like NGC in the authority. Regarding US stuff it feels like the prices have gone wild. Recent record breaking sales at Stacks and Heritage as well as other lead me to believe its not a buyers market for US coinage now. Since I don't sell much I figured there may be some value in ancients. Crazy how much more time and coinage there is out there pre 1600 AD. Thanks for the help and it looks like I have some reading to do. WBIT.

    Thanks JKK. I am not familiar with Worthpoint and will look into it. On the PCGS site they show all recent auctions for both NGC and PCGS coins but only for US coins. Great idea joining ANA and using the library. Books on coins are pricy.

    So I have been fascinated with the amount of ancient coinage out there and have done some reading. Ready to start adding a few pieces to my collection. I feel its the last place of value in collecting now with prices realized in the US coins space breaking records. (1804 draped bust dollar, 1861 double eagle and 1794 flowing hair realized over 24 million this week combined is case and point.) Many other key issues in US coinage are fetching record prices. Where is the best place to see recent auction sale prices and what is a good guide to use regarding valuation and accurate population for ancients? Thanks.
