<p>[QUOTE="Eric Kondratieff, post: 2434861, member: 78618"]I remember that show; I didn't know you were there, though (we hadn't met yet). I bought my first Nero sestertius (Roma, vf-ish but serious "Tiber patina") at that show for $80, a lot of money for a college student. I also bought a lovely vf Claudius /Libertas as, also for $80 (it was greatly smoothed, something I did not understand in my newby days); and, a nicely toned, vf Corinthian pegasus, also for $80 (seems like that was the going rate for EVERYTHING!). It was my first big coin show, and it had a number of good ancient dealers. I went three days in a row... ! BTW, AncientNut, did I buy that Caesar elephant from you? (I remember you were ratcheting your way up to some big $$ portrait sestertii back then, and sold some seriously nice RR denarii to get there; I ended up trading the elephant to Tom Cederlind, RIP, toward my first Caesar portrait denarius).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
