<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4554728, member: 44316&quot;]When I was a child my grandfather gave me some (a hundred?) common low-denomination &quot;world&quot; coins from numerous countries. I sorted them by country and learned where the countries were, but I didn&#039;t even realize that the three coins he had labeled as from &quot;Rome&quot; were much much older than the others from &quot;France&quot; and &quot;Germany&quot; etc. I think I was in in my mid-20s before I realized that Roman coins could be collected. Ah!&nbsp; My coins from &quot;Rome&quot; were from that famous old <b>ancient</b> Rome. I sold my US coins and never looked back. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127798[/ATTACH] </p><p>Sestertius of Gordian III. 28-30 mm. 17.32 grams.</p><p>AEQVITAS AVG</p><p>RIC 286a.</p><p>Ex my paternal grandfather.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
