My first was a Provincial from Philipi, still have it too. Do you remember sending it to me? lol

Congrats, a great set you have.

 

I remember. That was miles and miles ago.

Thanks for the compliments everyone

 

That will be 7 years tomorrow, my official ancient coin starting date.

 

Pre, IIX, and XVIIII? Never heard of 'em, must not exist.

Super job on a great collection!

 

If you close your eyes, they are not there. Right?

 

Yay!! Way to go, Bing!

Ya done good, kid!

Congratulations!

 

A truly amazing accomplishment

 

Amazing!

My first ancient was also an Antony legionary (SPECVULATORVM) and I must admit I am a bit jealous. I started down that road of trying to get every legion but I gave up as it was too frustrating. I'm glad you stuck with it and I'm happy to have had a small part in finding LEG IIII. Interestingly I've owned 2 LEG IIII and got them almost back to back. I sold one and kept the other. I've kept all of the scarcer ones and ones in better condition. Maybe I'll start down that path again!

 

Congratulations indeed, Bing. A great accomplishment!

 

You rock!

 

..wow @Bing ...congrats on that completion....now you'll have to start another..

 

Wow, what a neat set. I’d like one someday. I like the aquila on the reverse.

 

Time for some well deserved celebration in the endzone after that big score @Bing !

 

Congrats Bing! Well done - now which is your favorite??

 

Congratulations! A great accomplishment!

 

Wow, what a set. Glad to see it complete though and great others helped you accomplish it.

I am sure this will be on your top 2018 summery.

 

My first MA Legionary denarius is 2018.

 

It's such a great feeling to be able to add such a coveted rarity. Congrats my friend!
