@CoinBlazer- good work, lad! Here's another I'll be sticking in the mail for you tomorrow, probably, for you to hone your skills on. (Yes, my photography really is that bad)
The money you paid for the coin is nothing compared the the riches in experience you have gained. Keep on learning. The internet is an amazing tool for numismatists given the amount of info on ancient coins that would have required a small fortune in books when I started collecting. This is my hobby, I do it for fun. Have fun.
Perhaps I am the source of confusion. I started my post "First Ancient Coin" in March 2019 and Coinblazer started his in January 2019. I am new to this board so I never saw CoinBlazer's post.
