I would call it the "enlightened side" Ancient coins are better then moderns, by a "Country Mile" I should know, since I have have 100+ coins from the 20th century. Why are they superor? Much rarer/ designs are more artistic/ historical aspects/ provenance.... Here are a few of my ancient Lions/ alive/dead
John, I don't mind tossing some coin at "POT" dealers now that it's legal in NYS. The best POT is being sold at the Indian reservations . Two weeks ago I discovered a POT dispensary at the Tonawanda Indian Reservation in Basom, NY that sells "dynamite weed" .
Nice first coin! I am new to the hobby myself, but it is addicting. Soon you will have many more! I bought my first ancient last July, and I'm up to 19 now, and 22 as recently as yesterday. (I sold a few to one of my friends who is also just getting into collecting.)
WOW! I am being completely honest/ I have never ever put any drug/ in my body. I even stay away from pharma stuff. Probably taken 10 Tylenol my entire life (bad headache) I do love good coffee (Starbucks) for breakfast with my four cinnamon buns/ and cold Coronas when it gets hot up here. I would not consider them as "drugs" although some do......since they cause no harm.
