[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2694226, member: 76194"]When I first joined this forum, I saw some of you with fancy coins and I figured no one would take me seriously here or give me the time of day unless they thought I was a serious collector (whatever that means.) So I bought this Denarius of Trajan for big bucks when I could have bought 3 VF examples for the price of this fantastic and incredibly appealing gXF sample. [ATTACH=full]605025[/ATTACH] If I had to do it again, I would have gone for a cheaper yet still nice sample, instead of forking the money for this one, and used the rest of the money to buy two or three other ancient coins. You do have to excuse me though, I was new here and thought you guys were snobs, and that I'd have to pretend to be one to get advise and knowledge from you guys, plus I was a naive young child of 29 years of age. :p Obviously I was wrong about what kind of forum this was. You guys rock. But looking back, even though I would not buy this same coin all over again, and would have opted for something cheaper, I do love it and I have no regrets I got it.[/QUOTE]
