I know i have always been fascinated with Roman history, I think it began as a junior high school project or whether from motion pictures such as Ben-Hur or The Robe. It was only over two years ago I started collecting, I didn't even imagine it was even possible to to do this. My first venture was something I could not really resist: Judea Capta-Denarius. I bid on it from Eastern Europe-which made me nervous-but came it did-a little out of my budget, not the best-not the worst but I was ecstatic. At the same time bought some cull coins-the only real good one-and not all that great, but Constantine She-Wolf Roma, which I cleaned and cleaned and IDed right off. Have hit a snag on Ebay-can't go into it now. Time will tell.

 

I want to start but I need a push

 

Contest running until January 16th ... just thought I would give it a bump.

 

Another bump.. a week to go...

 

Last chance if anyone else is interested in entering.. will announce the winner over the weekend.

 

I'd like to get in on this great offering. I'd love to learn and dive in.

 

I actually was just asking about what are resources for collecting ancient coins! I just posted this thread a few hours ago and see this post now https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-to-start-collecting-ancient-coins.373644/

I collect US coins at the moment but I have wanted to get started collecting ancients for a while so I just asked for tips.
Thanks for the giveaway!

 

This is a good place to get any help you wish. Don't be afraid to ask.

Q

 

Whenever I see or hear this word, it makes me think of the movie "Name of the Rose" with a character introduced at the venerable Jorge:

 

I think I'll start calling some of the old-timers here venerable. The Venerable @Bing, the Venerable @dougsmit, etc.

 

The word "venerable" means a person accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of age, wisdom, or character. Doug and I have the "age" requirement covered, and maybe Doug has the wisdom and character in his corner. However, I've never been referred to as venerable.

 

Whatttttt!? No way! You guys are amazing! I love you all!
