Classical vs. Non-Classical Ancient Coins

The classical coins are basically Greek and Roman. Non-classical coins are almost everything else. Celtic coins fall into that non-classical coin realm, but so do coins like Parthenon, Islamic, and coins from China or Tibet. You can't categorize coins entirely in one group. There are a lot of smaller groups. In the series 6 books that I wrote about ancient coin collecting, the first one is a road map to a hobby, and the other five are about individual cultures. You could say that those five (Greek, Roman, Roman Provincial, Byzantine, and non-classical) represent the different categories of ancient coin collecting. Non-classical covers a very wide variety of coins from the Middle East to the medieval-looking coins. refLinks('http://hobbies.expertvillage.com/experts/classical-ancient-coins.htm','Classical vs. Non-Classical Ancient Coins');
