<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barry Murphy, post: 8258760, member: 79368&quot;]The first ancient coin I purchased was an M. Sergius Silus denarius. I purchased it from Tom Walker at a GNA show in Atlanta in 1983 for $45. I had recently gotten my drivers license and the show was the first &quot;road trip&quot; I went on by myself, driving the 2 1/2 hours from Birmingham to Atlanta. I sold it back to Tom at another GNA show in 1986 or 1987 for $65. Last September, this exact coin was submitted to NGC by a non-ancient coin dealer. He had purchased it from James Beach. Where the was the intervening 34 years is anyone&#039;s guess. I actually tried to buy it, but he wanted about 3 times what it was worth (I would have paid 2x what I thought it was worth, but he had paid more than that himself from James).</p><p><br /></p><p>Barry Murphy[ATTACH=full]1456292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1456293[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
