<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 2711483, member: 86815&quot;]I have been watching this site for a couple of weeks and have been impressed by the cordiality and generous advice offered by members.</p><p>I used to collect pattern shillings many years ago but marriage and school fees put paid to that. I visit the USA several times a year through work and have an affinity with the people and the Country. I have collected Morgan Dollars for a few years but they really don&#039;t &quot;ring my bell&quot; anymore. As a result of reading Simon Scarrow novels and others and having been taught Latin at school ( which I hated as what point was it?) I am now revisiting Latin and find myself enthralled with ancient coins. I probably have 20 years left on this mortal coil but could do with another 100 to exhaust this interest.</p><p>I have bought the Sear series and whatever I could but find myself flummoxed and seek help from my peers.</p><p>I drove 100 miles to a coin show last weekend to find it was mainly stamps and modern coins and bullion but two dealers had coins and I bought two because the dealer didn&#039;t know what they were so that intrigued me. The first I think is an Albinus but I can&#039;t find the reverse. Oddly a scratch or dent makes him look like he is wearing spectacles.</p><p>The second was marked as a Republican Denarius but again I cannot find it.</p><p>Any help would be very appreciated. It just tickled me that I am writing this enquiry on Easter Eve and we still have ties to two centuries ago!</p><p>Many thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>Dafydd[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
