<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 7977807, member: 112342&quot;]This is my second show for this year, one was back in February. Out of 30 dealers only 2 had ancients!&nbsp; </p><p>Some coins from the display,</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384572[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Surprisingly I found the prices for ancients cheaper compared to previous shows, so I bought some goodies, all for just 160 AUD.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384573[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always wanted an early Roman denarius, and this coin just grabbed my eyes, definitely one of my top 10 coin of this year!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384574[/ATTACH] </p><p>Anonymous Republican denarius - Helmeted Roma/Dioscuri - After 211 BC, 3.77g.</p><p><br /></p><p>This dealer also had a bunch of other ancients in a box, and Christmas came early when I saw this denarius of Trajan among them, with the famous Trajan&#039;s Column<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384576[/ATTACH] </p><p>Obv-IMP TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC P M TR P</p><p>Rev-COS VI P P S P Q R</p><p>RIC 307, seems like this is also a less common variety compared to RIC 292.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one&#039;s another bargain steal! Mark Antony legionary denarius, me thinks it&#039;s LEG XX.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384586[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And last but not least, a coin of Carausius with Pax, I also wanted a coin from his reign, and with his coins, I&#039;ll take what I can get.[ATTACH=full]1384588[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This show definitely made my day after months of not having any good purchases, and it&#039;s definitely satisfying to grab the coins right after I purchased them rather than wait for months on end due to delayed or even cancelled shipping![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
