<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3159081, member: 74968&quot;]I just returned home after several days at the Royal Canadian Numismatic Convention in Toronto, Canada. As usual there were only 3 dealers who dealt mostly with ancients and as [USER=88526]@Jay GT4[/USER] has said in another thread, there were a few others with a few ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the coins in the order of acquisition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is a Iudea Capta denarius. I kept seeing people post theirs so I had to have one of course. this one is dedicated to all of the enablers on this board.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]810408[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second one I bought is also courtesy of the enablers here at Cointalk. [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] is to blame for this one<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]810411[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The next one I thought about for about 1 day before I bought it. It has a hole and I do not collect coins with holes. However, this one was cheap for its type and has a very nice portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p>A PAX type of King William I the conquerer</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]810412[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you know I have been collecting coins of the family of King Henry II. I Have Henry, Eleanor, Geoffrey, Guillaume X,Richard, and Louis VII of France.</p><p><br /></p><p>I needed a penny of John.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]810413[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As you know I set up an exhibit at the show. Maybe some are wondering how I did.</p><p>In my category &#039;D&#039; there were 2 competitive exhibits.........</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]810416[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks to [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER] and [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] for their incredible help with the display.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I did not just win a ribbon...something came with it...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]810418[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is a one ounce pure silver coin with the Avro Arrow on the obverse and my name on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a wonderful time at the show.
