<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1039731, member: 57463&quot;]Depending on where in Pennsylvania you are, the annual PAN show is always a good time and you can find other ancients -- and knowledgeable dealers to help you choose them well.&nbsp; The Red Rose Coin Club in Lancaster is nationally famous and a good place to meet other collectors.&nbsp; The ANA will be in Pittsburgh for a special show in October 2011.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is always nice to get started.&nbsp; If you save the money you would otherwise toss at eBay sellers, you can clean up at a big show.&nbsp; For ancients in particular, several dealers will have Bargain Boxes.&nbsp; Aside from the check-lane impulse items, a huge inventory of quality coins awaits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Face it, the coin is a dog -- but, you know, I value more than a few of my own such more than I do some of the glittery ones.&nbsp; It just depends on what it means to you.&nbsp; I have a colonial US half penny worn to AG that looks a lot like this.&nbsp; Can&#039;t replace it for what it means.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
