<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3537518, member: 32619&quot;]This has been a fun discussion to read with lots of nice coins to look at and reflections from different collectors to think about. I&#039;ve been &quot;seriously&quot; collecting ancients since June of 2015. I first got interested in 2013 and bought an unseen group lot, here&#039;s the photo:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/first-12.3751/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This group lot was purchased from another member here at CoinTalk and it worked out to each coin costing $5.45. It took another year and a half before It became a passion. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins that set me off the deep end:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-15-septimius-neptune.3141/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Septimius Severus , AD 193-211</p><p>AR Denarius, 3.3g, 20mm; 1h; Rome, AD 209 </p><p>Obv.: SEVERVS PIVS AVG, laureate head right </p><p>Rev.: PM TRP XVII COS III P P; Neptune standing left, holding a trident, foot on globe </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-16-philip-i-felicitas.3142/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Philip I, AD 244-249</p><p>AR, Antoninianus, 3.7g, 21.5mm; 1h; Rome, AD 247 </p><p>Obv.: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG; radiate, draped &amp; cuirassed bust right Rev.: P M TR P IIII COS II P P; Felicitas standing left holding caduceus &amp; cornucopia.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My collection lacks focus. All cultures and periods interest me and my collection reflects this. So far it&#039;s been fun. I hope you find some coins that interest you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
