<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1984931, member: 19463"]I don't have photos of coins I lost but I have a category I consider worse. Before I took coin photos, I made aluminum foil pressings of my coins. I have a cigar box full of pressings of coins from my collection that I sold in 1974 when my daughter was born and I thought we needed the money. Many of the foils have been bent and are no longer attractive but I can't bring myself to throw them out. I really would like to run across some of the coins from this group but I have never seen one. A couple of them would sell for more today than I'd be willing to pay for just any specimen but I wonder if I would pay extra not for "a" Caligula sestertius but for the once upon a time "my" sestertius. This was a toned yellow brass and smooth except for a band across the portrait that shows well in the foil. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]354419[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
