<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2434920, member: 76440&quot;]I&#039;ve posted this story before on another forum. My first ancients were gifts to me from my Greek grandfather. I was a teenaged collector of U.S. coins, circa 1978, when my granfather gave me a small purse of old coins that belonged to my late grandmother. In the purse were several, late19th century modern Greek coins and a couple of odd, rough looking bronze coins. I took the odd ones to my local coin dealer who recognized them as ancient. He gave them to a collector who identified them for me - an AE antoninianus of Valerian I and an AE antoninianus of Trebonianus Gallus. I immediately bought RSC vol III and was forever hooked. My grandmother&#039;s parents came to the U.S from Greece in 1906, so I&#039;ve assumed that these were field finds in the old country![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
