<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Raymond Houser, post: 8340554, member: 96532&quot;]In 1960 i went to the Bon Marche Coin Shop in Seattle WA to buy a 1950-D nickel.&nbsp; As I remember, they wanted around $5 for a nice one.&nbsp; While I was waiting to be waited on I noticed their ancient coins, and I could get two ancient coins for the same price. So I purchased a Gallienus and a Salonina.&nbsp; I still have those first two ancients.&nbsp; I went on to get the rest of their family members, and continued my interest in 3rd. century coinage. Back in those days there was very little knowledge of ancient coins, and many times I&#039;d go to antique shops with my mother and ask if they had any misc. foreign coins or religious tokens.&nbsp; I was able to get quite a few ancient and medieval coins for almost nothing. I&#039;d trade the medievals for ancients at coin shows.&nbsp; It was great fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
