Look at what i purchased today: Trajan Decius ant

Nice coins and fish. My mom kept fish for some time. I tried raising guppies, but got bored with it. Mom hasn't taken up coins, but there is a Peace dollar she's kept in a jewelry box for years that will probably become a highlight of my collection when I inherit it one day.

But back to ancients: I see Trajan Decius' restoration issues from time to time for sale on Vcoins and they always go quickly. Are they rare or is there just a lot of demand for them? It would be pretty cool to put together a set of them.

Ooops, it is a coin thread, eh?

Doug's correct, I'd better post a neat example ... here is my only Trajan-D

=> I love this coin (it is thick and heavy, just like a wee Roman hockey puck!)
