http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f201/jessvc1/Snapbucket/ Here are some of my new coins I purchased for around $4 each
Those are some nice looking coins! I'm thinking about diving into the world of ancient coin collecting this weekend. I just don't have the first idea which coin I want though.
Even better! Getting paid!!!! EDIT: That and there's a Medieval Market Fair or some such thing in Trier that my wife wants to go to so I'm hoping to find a coin shop there. Plus I'm going to try and get out with my metal detector but I highly doubt I'll find anything pre-1940.
If your not sure, try a pick bin/junk box if you can find one. You might find hammers and other things like these guys when you go detecting http://youtu.be/0q-65uZqTbo
The postumus and victorinus cleaned up good but I couldn't remove the lump on the reverse of the victorinus so instead of salus feeding snake it looks like salus feeding anaconda reverse
