<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 6454816, member: 100459&quot;]Normally, I don&#039;t have much to do with threads about antique coins, but this thread went beyond coins with the Sphinx.&nbsp; I enjoyed the coins that had sphinx-like engravings on them.&nbsp; I was fortunate when my father was stationed in Landsthul, Germany in 1953.&nbsp; I had just turned 8 when we took a summer vacation.&nbsp; One of our stops was in Rome.&nbsp; My father took us to the coliseum. At that time, there were no guards or anything other than other tourist.&nbsp; I walked all over it and went down to the bottom that had the supports for the floor that the entertainment was.&nbsp; I picked up several items that my father told me were coins from long ago.&nbsp; At 8, I didn&#039;t see the significance.&nbsp; Now, I wish I had kept them.&nbsp; We were going to go to Egypt, but my father was transferred to Korea where he was in a MASH unit.&nbsp; I had a lot of fun when I was a kid, but I wish we did get to Egypt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
