<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 5364599, member: 97383&quot;]There are some impressive collections of ancient coins in Australian museums. Maybe a trip to one of these museums would convince your parents <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I never had that problem with my parents <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. When I was 12 years old (1960) my father took me to a local coin show &amp; bought me 2 coins for $15.00 each. One of the coins was a denarius of Septimius Severus in Ex.F. condition &amp; the other was a common date Liberty 2 1/2 dollar American gold coin in A.U. condition. We were both more intrigued with the Roman coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I no longer have either coin but today the gold coin would be worth about $200.00 &amp; the denarius about $100.00. I no longer collect U.S. coins but still collect ancient coins 60 years later <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
