<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 4783488, member: 81093&quot;]Hi all</p><p><br /></p><p>Been a little while since my last post.</p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone who has been following my goals for this year (which I expect is none of you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), my primary goal has been to collect 10 Roman Republic coins for my newly separated Roman Republic page (from the Roman Empire page) in my collection. The vast majority of these coins will be Denarii, as I&#039;ve decided that I prefer silver to bronze (not trying to start an argument here, just noting my preference <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie102" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been trying to purchase decent priced coins from a few German dealers, and have been participating in the odd auction domestically and overseas to try and pick up a bargain. I did a fairly low ball bid on a recent auction, and won it! Quite unexpected, but very pleased.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.coinarchives.com/880ca2c14173b248365655b2b4086063/img/roma/e74/image00811.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>M.

None of them have actually arrived yet (obviously this one wouldn&#039;t have been posted yet, some were held until postage started again, and some are quite simply taking too long to get here!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, please share your Roman Republic coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
