<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3658414, member: 32619&quot;]The original coin posted in this thread is a highly faked and I wouldn&#039;t buy it from a random seller on eBay. There are several places to look for fake coin databases, using the search here in CoinTalk ought to turn up the links.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always been interested in ancient history but I never even considered ancient coin collecting until I came to this forum. I never even knew it was possible. I started with moderns but grew bored with them. Because of how they&#039;re made, they&#039;re all the same. A mint set of Franklin&#039;s will all look alike. A mint set of late Roman falling horseman types will all look very different, even though they&#039;re the same type of coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t like how moderns must be&nbsp; a certain grade to be considered collectable. I don&#039;t like slabs, flippers, and the profit chasing in moderns. I like holding my coins! I like the mystery that often accompanies collecting ancients. I like learning about ancient cultures and civilizations. I like the fact that I don&#039;t know what the next coin I&#039;m going to buy looks like because I have no idea what every coin minted in the ancient world looks like. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-173-pergamon-cista-mystica.6290/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-166-aspendos-olympic-sportsmen.5657/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-131-caracalla-asklepios.4480/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-63-spanish-roman-republican.3602/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-189-justinian-i-theoupolis.12379/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-167-constantine-i-gttm.5785/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
