<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3930857, member: 77704&quot;]After highschool, I got my first job working for a lawn maintenance firm, when i started making real $$$, I began collecting MS&nbsp; AV World coinage (cheaper modern stuff) big mistake<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; (Franklin Mint/ proof sets)</p><p>Then I got a NFA catalogue in the mail, I was hooked! After looking thru the auction material, I knew that I loved these coins. Mind you, I had to save up and buy less coins. My first ancient was a cheap MS Constantine IX AV Histamemnon/ cost me $300US, a tidy amt. back in 1985. I managed to get 20 nice gold pieces from NFA auctions, still treasure these today. The Valentinian II AV Solidus is perfect. Here is that first ancient/ NFA auction. After that I started getting catalogues fom Tkalec AG auctions/ then CNG/ rest is history. However, I still collect 1500-1945/ they are also nice<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yes, I still have all those Proof set coins, they are neat too! Here is a more modern coin I just won....[ATTACH=full]1036035[/ATTACH]AV German States/ Silesia/ Breslau</p><p>AV 1/12 Dukat 1711 Breslau Mint&nbsp; .30g. 10mm. .986</p><p>Kaiser Josef I (Holy Roman Emperor)</p><p>3 known</p><p>MS-66[ATTACH=full]1036031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1036032[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
