    Lol, that is the great thing about being a dealer. I can handle a lot of coins without busting the bank :).

    Are these your personal coins, or are they part of your inventory?

    These are inventory coins. I have been selling my personal collection off to save up money to make starting my life a little easier. I think I will keep my Titus aureus, my Sabinus denarius, and Caligula As, but then my collection is my inventory for the next few years. When I start again I think I will collect aurei, high grade sestertii, and Republican-12 Caesars coins. Those are my favorite. I may not be able to buy many per year, but the few I will get I will really enjoy. Looking forward to that :). In the meantime I am going to just try and make money.

    Good for you. A word of advice. Try not to sell anything you may regret in the future. Too many stories about that kind of thing.

    Yes, very true. I know I would miss the aureus, just like I miss my Antony and Cleopatra denarius. But I had a nearly complete set of Roman emperors. and so the ones that were near irreplaceable were worn rarities that I didn't really like all that much anyway, lol. Most I could get back eventually.
