<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3198342, member: 76194&quot;]You know you&#039;re a collector when you spend a whole week searching obscure 18th and 19th century coin books and collection catalogs to try to find the meaning of the donkey&#039;s head behind Roma on this Republican denarius from 147 BCE. Found a convincing answer in a British catalog written in 1839.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827221[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was definitely not a numismatists until I became an ancient coin collector. The modern slabbbing trend in U.S. coins allows pretty much anyone to get into collecting without having to do any research or have any knowledge other than how to look up the price in the red book. However, ancient coin collecting is still a very research intensive hobby with a steep learning curve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
