When I bought the Semis at a coin show it was my most expensive coin. I bought the As when I thought import restrictions might limit availability. I have seen a few auction houses that will not ship cast bars and coins to the USA.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]852549[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]852550[/ATTACH]</p><p>both are in my lock box, so I do not hold them often.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]852555[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy collecting non-coin bronze pieces. The Romans (or Central Italians) used bronze to accumulate wealth and as votive items. The pic above has parts of an Ax, a Knife and pieces of bars or plates.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]852560[/ATTACH]</p><p>A cast sextans coin and a cast bronze shell of about the same weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
