[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4259390, member: 75143"]I had little to no interest in Roman coins until I found this website. When I first joined I was most interested in paper money and US coins. After seeing all of the fun and informative discussions on ancient coins, I went ahead and bought an unclead lot in 2016 or 2017. Most of the coins were trash, but I did end up trading a tiny Byzantine something-or-other for a lunch valued at $13! In mid-2019 I bought another uncleaned lot, which again was trash - the seller only sent me 12 of the promised 13, and one was actually a 1950s Yugoslavian coin :( My first targeted ancient coin purchase was an Ant of Gordian III featuring the Farnese Hercules statue on the reverse. I ended up giving it away for the 2019 Secret Saturnalia. Then, just two weeks ago I bought a rough Augustus As for $10. Since then I've bought another 10 coins and I'm loving every minute![/QUOTE]
