<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2741853, member: 87186&quot;]Are you kidding [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] ? Your first coin is beautiful! Silver, huh? The coins I purchased today are bronze. I did not see the portrait I wanted in silver. (I think it is also called &#039;portrait&#039; when it&#039;s on the reverse of the coin?) But that hunt will be great fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I have been hooked on coins for some time. But never thought about ancients. I would prefer to liquidate my current cent collection (except for the best specimens) and concentrate on fewer coins where I can learn more of the history behind them. I find I am enjoying reading the history of the time of the ancient coins more than searching for wheats or errors in a roll of cents. Perhaps I was getting bored with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, I have a nose like a bloodhound and I do not like the smell of pennies (oops, cents). I would like to get them out of my home. They have a raw rainy day metal smell that I find offensive. Is that strange? Has anyone else experienced that? Perhaps that is a question better suited to the threads about US cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>To everyone here: I will be asking for the opinions of this group and I hope you won&#039;t pull your punches. How else will I learn?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=32619]@Jwt708[/USER] -Aaarrrghhhhh!!!! Noooooo!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER] - Lol - so cute.&nbsp; But it will be some days before they arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=80662]@Truble[/USER]&nbsp; - I take correction well. I&#039;m rather used to it. I think I know where my place is, pretty much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
