<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 4401191, member: 89970&quot;]This is good advice, and it&#039;s the same advice that I was given more than 40 years ago when I started collecting ancient coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Upgrading usually means throwing away most of what you originally spent, even years later.&nbsp; As a young collector, once I learned this, I would sometimes buy only 2-3 coins a year, but I not only appreciated the treasures in my very small collection more, I regretted the &quot;bargains&quot;.&nbsp; Most of the bargains are gone now, but the person who sold me my first ancient coin was also the one who gave me the advice echoed by Bing.&nbsp; I still own that first ancient coin.&nbsp; Not a pristine gem but it wasn&#039;t a bargain at $65 in 1978, and I&#039;ve cherished it ever since:</p><p><b>Roman Republican Silver Denarius produced by the moneyer L. Scribonius Libo</b></p><p>Struck Circa 62 B.C.</p><p>Crawford 416/1a</p><p>Obverse: head of Bonus Eventus (good times/outcome)</p><p>Reverse: Well head decorated with garland and to lyres, Hammer symbol at base (other varieties display different symbols).
