<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3001082, member: 87200&quot;]I started out when I was 11 with a Gordian III antoninianus I saw at the local coin store. The portrait really impressed me as well as the fact that it was so &quot;old&quot;. I was a history buff at the time and found the story of Rome in the 2nd and 3rd centuries fascinating. Pretty soon I got a copy of Edward Gibbon and enjoyed collecting coins representing all of the characters I was reading about. So, yeah coins of the third century can be had for fairly nominal amounts - though I agree Greek coins with all of the animals and mythological types are fascinating too. Good luck with getting her into the ancient hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
