<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8671178, member: 26302&quot;]Many times this coin, or a similar coin of Gordian III, is people&#039;s first ancient. The reason is they are silver, low priced, and usually pretty good grade. This is due to massive mintages and troubles at the time, millions upon millions of these survive. It has always been a good stepping stone ancient, an upgrade from common late roman bronzes and byzantine bronzes. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I find fun is now that you have a coin of this man, read about his reign. Use the coin to drive your acquisition of knowledge, and you might read about other rulers you didn&#039;t know about, or other mints of the same emperor like Provincial issues. It just kind of builds, or sucks you in, gradually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
