<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2520359, member: 26302&quot;]I have told the story before how I got in to ancient coins, but it was out of boredom with US coins. I mean, I never &quot;got&quot; why I should care there is a little d or s on a coin, and somehow this made it &quot;a completely different coin&quot;. I never &quot;got&quot; why I should simply fill in holes that others have decided &quot;made a set&quot;. I never &quot;got&quot; how it can be very exciting to be able to buy about any coin in the series you want, at any time, it was only a matter of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I was helping running my local coin club&#039;s coin show, and was wandering around the aisles. I passed by a SD dealer who had some ancients. I bought two coins that day, a crummy Parthian silver and a beautiful facing head Larissa copper in deep green. I still have no idea why the pretty Larissa coin didn&#039;t suck me in to greeks, but I ended up concentrating first on Parthians/Sassanids, later Hunnic/Sogdian coins. Of course I have many &quot;sub collections&quot; of other coins. I don&#039;t want to be stuck only collecting one thing again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
