I had a few ancient coins on my desk which I had brought with me to show a fellow attorney who collects medieval coins. Late in the evening, and in the rush to get out of the office, I accidentally threw it and 2 other ancient coins in the trash along with some papers, and took the trash out to the dumpster. It was not until the next day when I realized I had thrown out an important paper, that I decided to look for the bag, and went dumpster diving in tie and suit (the paper was that important).&nbsp; I found the bag, and searching for the paper, I ran across an ancient coin. In a panic, I searched the whole bag and found the three coins. This one was the most valuable one of the three, and the more sentimental one as it was my first Roman Republic denarii. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]619173[/ATTACH] M.
