<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2308490, member: 76194"]My sentiments exactly. I bought my first ancient on November 2, and by the time I was on my 5th ancient purchase on November 14, I knew my days of collecting slabbed US coins were over. Once I held a 2,300 year old tetradrachm and a few 2,000 year old denarii in my hands, holding a plastic slab with a 50 or 100 year old coin inside didn't appeal to me anymore. I sold off my entire US collection on EBay and at local coin shops over the following two weeks. I have no regrets either, I feel like a little boy in a candy shop every time I go shopping for an ancient coin, and every time I look at my growing ancient coin collection, I crave more knowledge about the past and find myself rekindling my passion for classical history. I've even dusted off my old Roman and Greek history books and began to re-read them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
