<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7787903, member: 86498"]Many years ago when I started collecting ancient coins I identified that one of the coins I would like to have in my collection was a coin of Trajan with the reverse featuring Trajan's Column. Quite a few years later I saw a denarius in a Berk B or B and thought that it was by far the nicest one I had ever seen. The price I thought was rather steep. I contacted them only to find that it was already gone. About five years later I find this coin. </p><p>Trajan Ar Denarius 113-114 AD Obv. Bust right laureate and draped. Rv. Trajan's Column.

So I bought it. Funny thing is once I purchased the coin I decided I needed to compare it to the other coin I had seen and it turned out to be the same coin. I have since become friends with the collector that bought the coin the first time around and he sold it to get a very rare bronze coin of Uranius Antoninus.
