[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4699662, member: 110226"]Things that we hang on to for a long time (50 years definitely qualifies) really become a member of the family, in a manner of speaking. Not only do they provide us with an appreciation of what they are, but they also serve as time markers, and in that way bring associations with past events to the fore. That's a beautiful denarius, a top grade coin well worth the $15 expenditure in 1969. It is always important to remember that often times catalog prices are outdated. Prices for similar coins on the current market are a much better indicator. While reference book prices are outdated, they can still serve as indicators or relative scarcity or rarity, albeit within the context of the time the reference was published. So, congratulations on keeping your long-time friend, and may you enjoy it for another 50 years! Now, I need to wind my Gruen wristwatch, which I purchased in NYC in 1975...[/QUOTE]
