Recently completed 8 years of Ancients

I could use some (ancient) pottery. And I certainly can't say no to more bronze coins! Not sure about the salt, linen, and lace though... Probably could do a fun experiment or something with the salt .
Funny enough I happen to make a significant coin purchase the day after my anniversary. It had nothing to do with it, with the timing being pure coincidence, but I like to see it as an anniversary gift of sorts to myself

Yeah, after my first couple of months collecting Ancients things were slow going for me as well, then right after summer is when it picked up, and continued that way. And I hear you on the regrettable coin purchases. The good part about it for me though is that they served as funds for better coin purchases later on.

I am only able to remember because the Ft Lauderdale coin club always has the monthly coin show every third Sunday of the month, and I knew it was in April of 2011. For the longest time though I didn't double check the exact date. Now, my first online ancient coin purchase is another story, although I'm 90% sure it was in July of that same year.

Coin collecting has been around since ancient times, so pretty much an eternity in that sense .

Cheers, keep on collecting and learning the history. Coins are always tied to the history.

 

Thanks Black Friar!

Glad to have you here @ValiantKnight
I've been collecting ancient for 40+ years and never been near finding it boring. Time is on your side !

Cheers

Has it been 8 years already @ValiantKnight? Seems like just a couple of years ago when we were new on CCF.
