For one thing, &quot;coins&quot; to me meant &quot;bullion.&quot;&nbsp; I almost liked coins, but not quite.&nbsp; Twenty years later, I wanted to suggest tokens as an advertising medium to my employer, so I got into numismatics per se to gather information for my report.&nbsp; I got interested in Barber Dimes and Mercury Dimes, but they did not have &quot;it&quot; for me somehow.&nbsp; Well, the coin dealer I had been working with those past 20 years needed a Young Numismatist for a coin show and my daughter was the target.&nbsp; I dropped her off and picked her up and on the last day, I walked the bourse floor and saw ANCIENT GREEK coins -- and that they cost no more (or less) than other numismatic items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, I was hooked.</p><p><br /></p><p>After reading advertisements and such, I bought my second first ancient, a little silver obol from Miletos.&nbsp; Ten years later, I still have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
