I've had a few friends become very interested in coins, however from our discussions. One recently told me of his experiences being outbid on an owl on eBay.

Within a week he was lamenting how he had gotten carried away and spent considerably more than he intended on some (beautiful) Greek and Roman Imperial silver as an auction was closing. Interestingly enough, even though most of the coins I collect are Roman Republic, he is completely uninterested in the Republic except for 49 B.C. on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've actually been trying to get him to join CoinTalk but he is uninterested so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
