<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3197437, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you all - he is a good dealer and I am lucky to have him nearby.&nbsp; He doesn&#039;t have a huge number of ancients, but they are mostly quite nice (and out of my price range).&nbsp; He sold me my very first ancient in 1987, a denarius of Septimius Severus with MARS PATER reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>This past visit he mentioned to me that the collectors&#039; market is shrinking - too many old folks, not enough young ones (he deals in all sorts of things besides coins - jewelry, stamps, Native American relics, Civil War, fossils, etc. - although coins has always been his focus).&nbsp; Thirty years ago I qualified as a young collector, but not any more, alas.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I still have the SS he sold me in &#039;87:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]826812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
