[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 8273895, member: 86815"][ATTACH=full]1460559[/ATTACH] These are a multiple lot I bought several years ago. I had a conversation with a family friend and it turned out that he had read some Robert Fabbri, Kevin Ashman and Steven Saylor novels. I gave him one of these Claudius As' ( the one on the right) and he was ecstatic as he had no idea that collecting Roman coins was within his grasp. We speculated on what the coin was worth in respect of a meal etc and the fact that the coin had been used, I call it "honest travels" , and it made it so much more special for him. It was a great night and I felt I had passed on my obligations as a custodian. To be honest ,much of what we do is motivated about protecting our investments using hard earned cash and worrying about fakes that this was inspirational for me and subsequently I have repeated the exercise. My friend subsequently went on to read " I Claudius" visiting the TV drama of the same name and now collects ancient coins. Next more giveaways.[/QUOTE]
