<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3106761, member: 14873&quot;]There were no coin shows that I know of in Britain when I first became interested in Roman coins in 1938. I actually first collected cut-out <i>photos</i> of coins - I think the only source for obtaining actual coins in Britain at that time were the <i>Bazaar</i> and <i>Exchange and Mart</i> Publications although I never purchased any coins via them. I bought my first Roman coin in the United States at <i>Joske’s of Texas</i> Department store in San Antonio in 1951 - an Augustus Lugdunum altar As. I attended my first coin show in San Antonio that same year. I have attended numerous coin shows - mostly in the western U.S. - throughout the years since and have enjoyed the camaraderie and face to face discussions immensely. I no longer attend coin shows due to my age associated disabilities. I do not think the interest in collecting Ancient coins is dying out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Added via Edit: I have purchased most of my Roman coins online for the past several years - just a few at coin shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
