<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 3275435, member: 88401&quot;]My first came to me when I was 14 yo in a small plastic box of several beat up coins, including some old English cents, Bavarian Talers etc. and this little worn denarius. All unidentified from an Uncle who just knew I collected coins(USA) up till then. I looked for it in my pb edition <u>Coins of the World </u>and there it was in a plate on one of the first pages! Read the caption and my life changed forever.[ATTACH=full]864850[/ATTACH]</p><p>That is the only coin I still possess from my teenage ancient collection along with two Bavarian Talers(from the same giftbox) and a Judaean war prutah I bought in a little coin store in Connecticut. The latest:[ATTACH=full]864855[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here is the most recent obtained beside the New Style Athenian Tet, A Roman quadrans with Olive Tree and the two coins from the Leu auction- an MA sestertius and a Cistophoric Tet of Octavian.</p><p>A Pius,</p><p>Pamphylia, Side Æ18 138-161</p><p>Laureate head rt. - A KAI ANTWNEINOC</p><p>Athena advancing left over serpent holding pomegranate and shield CIDH-TWN</p><p>RPC IV online 5717.1, Weber 7366</p><p>Extremely Rare with RPC just citing the Weber specimen obtained from [USER=77127]@MarcosX[/USER]</p><p>8.25 Grams</p><p>VF</p><p>Rare Unlisted</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">A.Pius and Athena/Trees and snakes as symbols of wisdom(&quot;Be ye as wise as serpents&quot;) are all areas of interest. Rarity comes in as a factor for me if other areas fall into place.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
