<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sidestick, post: 2765404, member: 83381&quot;]19th and early 20th century US coins were my focus, on and off, for 50 years, but nothing after the early 1940s. About 20 years ago, on a whim, I bought a couple ancients at a show. I love my US coins but I&#039;d often pull out those two ancients and stare at them in appreciation of their sheer artistic beauty, particularly Athena and Pegasus on the Anaktorian stater, and think of the times in which they were created.</p><p><br /></p><p>Late last year, at age 69, I found this forum. The stories and photos of ancients were amazing. I was like a kid in a candy shop. New books to read and &quot;new&quot; coins to pursue!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ve acquired a few ancients and put them in the box with my US coins and they&#039;re all getting along nicely together! My interest in US coins is undiminished but a whole new exciting numismatic field has been opened to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
