<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2757650, member: 87761&quot;][ATTACH=full]632983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]632984[/ATTACH] I had a small collection of coins as a child, bought with money from a newspaper round (cliche I know...). I always lusted after an Athenian owl, which I couldn&#039;t possibly afford then. I sold my collection around the time I started lusting after other things, but when I inherited my father&#039;s coins recently I decided to go back to collecting and the first thing I bought was this Athenian owl. I wasn&#039;t sure exactly what I wanted to collect at first, and this was the one coin that I bought at my first fair. Still an expensive purchase, but now affordable. I sold most of my father&#039;s collection, keeping only a few hammered British and a really nice group of Celtic. But I&#039;m pleased to have replaced the two ancient coins I&#039;d always regretted selling: a Faustina denarius with really good bright metal, and a nice Republican denarius with a quadriga reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
