Jona: I had a coin collection since I was five years old, eventually collected about 3,000 pieces over 40-some years, and then had to sell all of them about five years ago for family emergency 
. About 1,000 pieces were dated before AD 500.
You may have noticed that the "Indispensable Ancient Civilian Booklist" coin section is the most fully developed section. (I greatly still appreciate coin artwork, historical significances, etc.
)
I'd be glad to share what I learned from buying in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Latin America; and particularly about Roman imperial (mostly) & provincial coins (some). Also some links to several very good, educational websites.
There may be a good number RAT members with more coin collecting experience, or with very different experience, such as coinage of other cultures and periods. However, if no one else has contacted you, or if additional insights/perspectives may help, please feel free send me a PM. I'd be glad to help.
