<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3972556, member: 26302"]I hear you [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER]. We do kind of get a little spoiled after we have been around these coins for very long. Just Saturday I went to a local dealer who had some random stuff for me. I always go because I have scored some screaming deals on cool things there. This time, pretty boring. Some small gold, some world silver stuff for my kids, and he had three ancients. I ended up paying him $60 for three Roman denarii, a AP and two Julia Domnas. They weren't bad, aVF-VF, one with a JUNO reverse, but I simply took them home and tossed them in a pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>Twenty years ago I would have studied these, ogled over them, not believing my luck I could hold authentic ancient Roman silver coins for so little. Same with Chinese. I have a book of almost all known type of Northern Sung coins I almost never look at, and strings upon strings of these. We forget how special they can be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
