<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1651027, member: 25357&quot;]Great Thread!&nbsp; My first ancient was purchased in the early &#039;70s, when I was an 8 or 9 year old kid living in Germany.&nbsp; I believe we were on a family tourist trip to the Camp Gate at Trier (Trevorum).&nbsp; It was purchased from one of the tourist trap shops that surround such attractions.&nbsp; It can&#039;t have cost much, since my allowance was around $2 a week at the time.&nbsp; I vividly remember being so impressed by how old this coin was.&nbsp; Little did I know it would sit, tucked away as a keepsake, in a drawer, envelope or safe,&nbsp; following me through multiple moves, for almost 40 years only to be re-discovered as intrigue into ancient Roman coins was re-kindled.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s unattributable in its current condition. And I don&#039;t want to break it out of the original 2 x 2 to clean it since the legend has personal/sentimental value for me.&nbsp; But from what I can gather from the legend written in German on the 2 x 2, it is some kind of Barbarous Radiate, a Gallic afterstrike of an Antoninus, possibly Tetricus I or Tetricus II?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
