<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2874640, member: 85693&quot;]Welcome to ancients - I really like that Mercury Marcus Aurelius (thanks for the info, Doug - I had no idea).&nbsp; Lovely coin and interesting backstory. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I lived in Chicago I used to walk down to Harlan Berk&#039;s on my lunch hour and just drool at his display window from the sidewalk (it probably still has my nose-prints).&nbsp; I&#039;d never seen anything like it.&nbsp; Couldn&#039;t afford anything either. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for dealers I might suggest, on your way to Indianapolis from Valpo, stopping by A-Z Coins in Fort Wayne.&nbsp; They have a small but interesting selection of ancients (I have no connection beyond being a collector).&nbsp; Whenever I&#039;m in the area I stop by and sometimes get some good stuff, even on my budget.&nbsp; Paid $18 for the Commodus denarius (Gladiator!) and $10 for the Faustina II as - not bad for coin shop pricing:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]687878[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]687879[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
