[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1824492, member: 56859"]Yes, it's turned out to be a big load o' fun :D True though that I'm not interesting in keeping quite a number of them, but it really is thrilling to buy blind and then research the little treasures. My first buying foray in ancients was with uncleaned coins. They were all of so poor quality that I didn't enjoy it. This is more what I was after-- coins that are identifiable-- and since I can't just go dig up a bunch of old coins where I live, this is the equivalent thrill of 'discovery'. I'm trying to estimate value as I go-- understanding that even with conservative estimates there are costs associated with selling-- but I'm definitely ahead in terms of theoretical value for the lot. Once I get them all organized I'll see what I might part with, so if any of you see something you'd like to have, let me know. Haven't posted the Pompey yet, will do that tonight. I think it's a Sextus Pompey.[/QUOTE]
