<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValpoBeginner, post: 2847473, member: 77066&quot;]I guess I&#039;m more of a 1st method kind of guy, unless I&#039;m at a show.&nbsp; Then looks are all I go by as far as desirable pieces.&nbsp; The first ancient coin that I saw that really pulled me in was one depicting the colossus of Rohdes. Talk about visual appeal.&nbsp; Too much dough for me at the time, considering all the coins I needed to get for my dime collecting ventures. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been reading some of the feature articles on the main coin talk page and that really got me interested in the stories behind the coins</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I chose these two coins is because I&#039;ve always liked Marcus Aurelius&#039;&nbsp; approach to life in his mediations; and&nbsp; Diocletian for his amazing palace in what is now the Croatian town of Split, (hoping I got the right ruler for the palace).&nbsp; Thanks alot for the welcome.&nbsp; Its a whole new world of grading that I&#039;m going to have to learn;&nbsp; But I&#039;m really in it for the history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
