It is kinda crazy to think about it that way. These were the dollars and quarters of their time.
They were also once held 1700+ years ago, and no one thought that was bad. They will be fine.
I did see that, and I am jealous for 2 reasons. First, that you went to the UK. My wife and I are saving up to go there, hopefully for our 10th...
Don't add me either, Doug. Just wanted to give you a "fist bump" for doing something awesome.
Congrats! I quit smoking 3 years ago next month. I know you can kick it forever too!
I don't hold them all the time, but I just got 2 new ones today, bringing my total to 12, so I thought I'd take a pic with all of them. They will...

I collect US proofs and Roman coins. How is it so hard to imagine?

Cancer bracelets that I used to wear. Sadly, they have broken. Light blue is for Prostate cancer, Lavender is for Testicular cancer. They both say...
Did you see post #4? I'm not sure I spelled it out. THE DATE on the coin.
Holy crap, that Marc Anthony Legionary!! LOVE it. I have always wanted one.
Because my camera isn't working, and I only have pics of 5 of the 12 coins I bought this year, here's my Top 5. Not all are ancient. Coin 1....
