<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KeviniswhoIam, post: 3445999, member: 94430&quot;]After yesterday&#039;s Willimantic, CT coin show, I am also now a Roman collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>I won&#039;t embarrass myself with communicating my lack of knowledge on the subject, or lousy cellphone pictures of what I bought.....I simply bought what I liked!</p><p><br /></p><p>1.

I think it&#039;s pretty cool owning ancients.....rare by modern standards, with history! Who knows? They could have been used to bet on gladatorial matches, could have been carried by legionnaires in battle, etc. and with the added plus of the prices not being jacked up by TPG&#039;s and investment concerns like so many of the US coins I&#039;ve been collecting for 50 years....</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like I have turned into the &quot;dark alley&quot; of coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
