<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2505818, member: 76194&quot;]A small confession, I sold some ancients on Ebay about 14 or 15 years ago. I ended up acquiring denarii and double denarii of several Emperors (Vespasian, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Alexander Severus, Gordian III, and Philip I) as part of a trade. At that time I didn&#039;t care at all for ancients...I made the trade because there were also a few US coins I wanted thrown in with the trade (the guy wanted to trade all, and not just his US coins), and I figured I could sell that &quot;ancient junk&quot; for a profit on the Ebay. So I promptly placed the ancient coins on Ebay and sold them off. Looking back on it, I wish I hadn&#039;t, but hindsight is 20/20.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t consider those coins to be my &quot;first ancients&quot; as I really did not care at all for them and sold them off immediately for what I thought was a decent profit at the time. And those US coins I cared for so badly and traded for as part of that deal have long been sold, and the coins I gave the other party as part of the exchange I wish i still had (a few foreign gold coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to revoke my &quot;ancient collector&quot; card for admitting to that blasphemy. Obviously I no longer see ancient coins as &quot;ancient junk.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
