<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4416370, member: 110350&quot;]The Trajan Decius was my first Roman coin that I bought as an adult; the first ancient coin of any kind, which I bought not long before that, was a drachm of Alexander III (under Philip III Arrhidaeus), from the Miletos mint.&nbsp; I posted photos of it at <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-ancient-coin-i-ever-bought-as-an-adult-and-the-first-one-i-bought-as-a-child.356598/#post-4243760" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-ancient-coin-i-ever-bought-as-an-adult-and-the-first-one-i-bought-as-a-child.356598/#post-4243760">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-ancient-coin-i-ever-bought-as-an-adult-and-the-first-one-i-bought-as-a-child.356598/#post-4243760</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, there&#039;s nothing for you to be embarrassed about: in the same post, I also put up photos of a Roman coin I bought as a child of 8 or 9 for less than a dollar,&nbsp; at a little coin shop a couple of blocks from where I lived. It was (I think) a Constantinopolis coin of Constantine I, and I&#039;m sure it was far more wretched than anything you could possibly have bought at any time in your life![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
