<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2387687, member: 77704&quot;]Glad you asked, I have ever since I was 18, collected only gold coinage. When, I was a little boy growing up in Germany, I read the Grimm nursery tales, lots had stories of robbers with gold coins, I was fascinated by that. Then, my Dad (collects also) got me really into it, by making Christmas presents a &quot;gold coin&quot; event. So, when I finished highschool, and got a job as a landscape helper, I always saved my $ to buy a coin. As a matter of fact, that Theodosius I coin from today, I got from NFA that way, work 8 weeks=coin. Actually Numismatic Fine Arts sent me their auction catalogues back in 80s. I ended up getting most of my ancient stuff thru either NFA or later Classical Numismatic Group. Presently, I probably have 100 AV coins from 650BC-1200AD Three hundred struck from 1200AD-1899&nbsp; rest 200+ from 1900-1970. Like the alligators on &quot;Swamp People&quot; I am hooked for life! Oh, amazingly, I have only had one profession since 18, maintaining grass/hedges/flowerbeds.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
