<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 10462508, member: 26302"]I feel the same about many ancients, never being a stickler for grade. I especially feel this for some reason on bronzes, the warm glow of worn bronze just looks and feels comforting. I own many more expensive ancients, but always remember a VG bronze issued by the Ostrogoths immediately after the fall of the Western Roman empire in Rome. It has a label "Roma Invictus", Rome Unconquered, issued by German conquerers. Since its so worn, and circulated in Rome itself, I wonder how the population felt about that coin as they used it in daily commerce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to have a better memory, but today find myself not as much. As such, I bring up the Ostrogothic coin because its one of the few coins I remember owning. 99% of them it appears when I look in the SDB I have no memory of purchasing, but remember that one clearly. I remember the history and knowledge of coins, just losing memory of what coins do I own already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
