<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7469913, member: 111037&quot;]My very first coin was bought in a brick and mortar shop, even while Coronavirus was a big thing in China. So was my second one. But soon after that, the first lockdown happened and had to switch to the internet. As I have now become a slightly more experienced collector it would normally make sense to keep shopping online, but with prices being so strong brick and mortar shops don&#039;t seem so pricy any more. I bet they are eating their hats that they were not allowed to trade for so long. There is affordable stock waiting to be found, and no matter how good resolution an image has, it can&#039;t beat holding the coin in hand. I was dangling 4 Athenian tets before I chose the one that is now mine. Another aspect of coin collecting that I still haven&#039;t experienced is coin shows and clubs. London should be able to give plenty opportunities when things get back to normal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I took these earlier today while on a stroll through Regents Park. Spring is my favourite season with a notable exception being a Japanese autumn. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293580[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293581[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I almost forgot I had this coin. And it is actually quite relevant to the thread, as it is pretty much a small bronze version of my new coin. It was struck by the Cilicians, the next door neighbours of the Pamphylians. Very similar looking on both sides apart from the very busy legends on the reverse. I wonder if the Pamphylians raised an eyebrow!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293582[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
