<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Davobenz, post: 2273295, member: 76162&quot;]I can&#039;t post the first ancient coin I acquired (a denarius of Antoninus Pius with the modius &amp; corn ears reverse, in good VF condition),&nbsp; because I sold it along with about 100 other ancient coins way back in 1976, that included an aureus&nbsp; of Claudius and a solidus of Constantius 11.</p><p>The (then) collection also included a type set of 17 Australian gold coins. The money raised was used as part deposit in setting up a mortgage on our first house.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the denarius in 1964, when I was 18 years old.</p><p>As a teenager, I always had some money to spend on coins, because I was a process worker in a factory, working for my father. Working never interferred with my secondary or tertiary education, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
