<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8083248, member: 110350&quot;]I would certainly never buy a coin that looked like this now. But it happens to be not only the worst but also the very first ancient coin I ever bought, back in the 1960s when I was 8 or 9 years old, at a local coin shop a couple of blocks from where I lived. At the time, I was mostly buying old British pennies and other cheap world coins with my allowance, but the idea of this one actually being ancient appealed to me. I probably paid 25 cents or so for it. I don&#039;t really think of it as being in my collection (it&#039;s not in the personal catalog I keep), but I still have it, so I suppose it technically still is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine I, City Commemorative.
