Message:: [QUOTE="NLL, post: 3197177, member: 78950"]I'm pretty sure I fit all the criteria. I started getting interested in ancient coins around the August/September time period last year when I got hit pretty hard in life. I was gifted some coins to identify around that time and fell into depressed times. The coins got put away and I was not collecting again until this past June.In June I saw a coin up for sale that got my attention and this is the coin that I give credit to getting me back into collecting again.[ATTACH=full]826655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]826656[/ATTACH]The coin is a Trajan Denarius Victory Reverse. This coin instantly attracted me and I knew I had to have it. I loved the amazing detail the coin had. It also had good relief in the devices. I also liked how well shaped the flan was and how centered the design was on the flan. I was in love with this coin. After purchasing the coin I decided it was time to get back into collecting. I went back and decided it was time to identify those unidentified ancients. I never did create a thread although I do still plan on doing it. This coin was my gateway into ancient coin collecting. I figured out I loved coins with odd shapes and sizes. Especially the really large ones and small ones. I also like coins with a cracked flan. Thanks for the chance to enter and for the contest [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] ![/QUOTE]
