Rynearson Collecting Ancient Greek Coins With Collecting Ancient Greek Coins, Dr. Rynearson provides an engaging introduction to many diverse aspects of these fascinating relics. He offers an expert.s valuable guidance to what he calls the .highly personal. act of building your own collection.

In more than two dozen essays, Rynearson teaches important lessons in how to get started, how to evaluate quality and value, how to grade ancient coins, and how to catalog and photograph your collection.
