<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3931413, member: 86498&quot;]My first exposure to ancient coins occurred when I was probably 11 or 12 years old. We had a mall about a half hour bike ride away and I used to like to go there and look at all the treasures within.I was really fond of the aquariums full of exotic fish and of course toys and other things. One day I walked into a woman&#039;s shop (Can not imagine why Yuuuch full of women&#039;s stuff like dresses, purses and makeup and at that age could not fathom the interest) and I saw a display of Roman coins None were labeled so I had no idea of what any of them were but something told me that at some time I could buy some of these someday. About 2-3 years later I went into a coin shop for the very first time and actually saw ancient coins for sale. I eventually bought one. There is somewhere in my moms picture albums a picture of me all dressed up heading to the downtown coin shop to buy an ancient coin which turned out to be a Gallienus antoninianus of the animal series. I don&#039;t have that coin anymore. I actually donated it to my local university coin display.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; One of my early coin purchases a denarius of Caracalla was replaced with this one</p><p>Caracalla Denarius 217 A.D.
