<p>[QUOTE="Volante, post: 1831541, member: 57279"]I've never been a huge collector of ancients, but recently I've really started getting into Roman coins. It honestly blows my mind that 2000 year old coins can still be in near-pristine condition. So far I've tried to confine myself to coins with strong strikes and decent alignment (a bit of toning doesn't hurt either!). I'd be really interested in hearing what the more experienced collectors of ancients here think of these. Please correct me if any of these attributions are wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]302538[/ATTACH]</p><p>L Cornelius Sulla & L Malius AR Denarius. 82 BC.
