<p>[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 2698386, member: 74343"]So probably over a year ago now, I was at an antique show and there were a couple tables of coins. One guy had some ancients for practically nothing so I bought a couple. Now at this time I had absolutely no clue about anything regarding ancients. Now since Im a little more knowledgeable, I decided to try and attribute them. Now they are a bit rough as is expected since I only paid like $14 for both (cant be sure, but I know it was under $20 for both).
