Message:: [QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3167863, member: 88401"][ATTACH=full]814516[/ATTACH] Thanks for this link Ed. I use ancients in my class and give them away in exchange for a good write-up for our school news magazine. My first ancient was an RR denarius that came to me at about 14 yo in a little box of old beat-up coins from an uncle. It changed my life. So I give that back with the few students I have who are interested. As far as giving the collection away. I did that - sold it for very little when I was in my twenties except for the original coin and a couple I had given as gifts. I had about thirty I figure. Besides the first coin that came as a gift I purchased most of them from Alex Malloy at coin shows and Stacks upstairs in NYC. My new collection I consider complete at 91 great coins that I can easily admire at one time. The image is of my original collection with a picture I took as a teenager. I do have some color slides of the separate coins that someday I will digitally scan. Glad I had photos at least. I still remember every coin. Thanks for this story [USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER] of how you are handling this.[/QUOTE]
