<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 958658, member: 26302"]I love pick boxes. For ancient coins they truly are a treasure trove. I once found at the CICF an Antinuous coin. For those who don't know he was the boy toy of emperor Hadrian and Hadrian made the whole Roman world grieve when he drowned in the Nile. It was an offstruck slightly and just VG-F, but its a very scarce coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I colelcted US coins, I wanted to pick out a set of Roosevelts from junk silver, and while I was picking out the dates noticed tons of BU 49 S's. That is all I knew of Roosevelts that the 49 S was a scarcer one. So I pick out the best set I could, (I think about 46 coins?), and then grabbed all of the leftover AU/BU 49 S coins, so I think I bought about 80 coins. The price was a little more than $25, but the dealer rounded it down to $25 for me. I remember the price since I was wondering at the time why I was wasting $25 on stupid Roosevelts lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
