<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2924823, member: 76440&quot;]These are my first TWO ancient coins, both gifts from my grandfather in 1978.&nbsp; Both were in a coin purse belonging to my grandmother, whose parents immigrated from Greece in 1906.&nbsp; They were mixed in the purse with late 19th century modern-Greek coins. Both are presumed field finds by one of my great grandparents!&nbsp; On left, a broken AE Antoninianus of Trebonianus Gallus.&nbsp; On right, AE Antoninianus of Valerian I.&nbsp; These started me down my path...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]709010[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My first ancient coin book soon followed.&nbsp; I wanted to understand the coins I&#039;d been given, and in 1978 the internet was not an optional knowledge base.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]709048[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
