<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3580712, member: 76194&quot;]You&#039;ve got to love the public perception that all ancient coins are worth a fortune just because they are old. Today I accidentally stumbled across a comment I left two years ago on a Pawn Stars video, and the responses are golden...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]955301[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not surprised. Reminds me of the time I gifted a friend a provincial Gordian III coin. He was terrified to accept it despite being a huge ancient history buff. When I asked him how come he didn&#039;t want to accept my gift, he said....&quot;I can&#039;t in good conscience accept such an expensive gift.&quot; When I told him it was only worth around $50 USD he didn&#039;t want to believe me, so I had to show him the auction receipt from when I bought the coin before he was comfortable enough to accept my gift. He was shocked beyond belief that you could buy an ancient coin for less than a few hundred dollars, and somehow assumed the humble Gordian III provincial I was trying to gift him was worth over $700 or $800.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you ever had a similar experience happen to you? Wanna share it below?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
