<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4985492, member: 51347&quot;]I started collecting when I was 8 or 9. Started with Moderns. Believe it or not, I found a US Civil War Token in my Grandparent&#039;s change jar. I asked my Grandmother if I could have it, and gave her a dollar bill so I felt that It was mine. We went to a local coin shop, Mr LLoyd Fudge’s Coin Shop in Mountain View, AR. He explained the coin and all the history behind it. I WAS HOOKED! In fact, I would spend my summer&#039;s savings from working (yeah, farm work, cutting grass, cleaning out barns, etc. to make money), on other US Modern Coins. In fact, I gravitated to the Odd Denominations (2c, 3c, 20c), Trade Dollars chopped or not, Fraction Currency, Civil War Tokens, Hard Time Tokens, etc. as it was cool HISTORY. Yes, of course, I collected some of the other denoms, but that was boring. No real HISTORY.</p><p><br /></p><p>After 25 years, I dumped 90% of my Modern Coin collection, and really pursued my passion of Ancient History. I captured 4 Athens Owls and an Alexander III Makadonwn Drachm. </p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately chased my real historical passion of the Roman Republic and those Entities that interacted with the Roman Republic.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is my COIN #1 for my Coin Collecting Hobby:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2020-7-2_7-9-23-png.1139869/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Probly my first Roman Republic.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2020-10-5_16-53-51-png.1184506/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>RR M Furius LF Philus AR Denarius 119 BCE Janus Trophy Carnyx Cr 281-1 Sear 156[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
