<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2981893, member: 44132&quot;]I hate selling my coins.&nbsp; Don&#039;t ask me why, but perhaps it&#039;s because they are my &quot;precious&quot;.&nbsp; However, on the other hand, I really like trading coins particularly with collectors I know feel about their coins as I do.&nbsp; I&#039;ve traded with many members here on CT, and have never felt like the trade was in any way a deficit.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, recently I was asked by one of our esteemed members if I would like to trade one of my coins for two of his.&nbsp; My coin seemed to have somewhat better detail, but it was nothing special to me.&nbsp; The two coins I got in trade were perhaps more worn, but, again to me, they had more interesting reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin is a Vespasian</p><p>[ATTACH=full]733814[/ATTACH] </p><p>VESPASIAN</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right </p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; COS ITER FORT RED, Fortuna standing left, resting hand on galley prow and holding cornucopia</p><p>Struck at Rome, 70 AD</p><p>2.62g, 18mm</p><p>RIC 19; RSC 84</p><p>ex David Atherton</p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a Titus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]733816[/ATTACH] </p><p>TITUS</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; T CAES IMP VESP CENS, laureate head right, &quot;o&quot; beneath neck</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; FIDES PVBL, hands clasped over caduceus, two poppies and two corn-ears</p><p>Struck at Uncertain Asian Mint or Ephesus, 76AD</p><p>2.9g, 19mm</p><p>RIC V 1485 (Vesp), RPC 1459</p><p>Ex David Atherton; ex Harry Sneh Collection</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in the end, I think I did well in this trade, and I hope my trading partner feels the same.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are obviously some coins I will not trade, but I&#039;m open to discuss trades with anyone here on CT[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
