<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1829462, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; I do know that I bought it at a tiny antique shop that was on the groundfloor of the apartment building in which I lived while in Junior High School.&nbsp; At the time I collected US from circulation (I never bought coins but sometimes did trade duplicates at a coin store).&nbsp; That first coin was, to the best of my recollection, an AE of Tetricus and not much to look at.&nbsp; I did not start really getting interested until I took Latin in High School and stopped paying any attention to US coins.&nbsp; I then was buying mostly denarii of the Severan and earlier periods and had few later coins.&nbsp; That first coin and about 50 others were sold to Joel Malter in 1974 so I can&#039;t remember much about the ones I did not photograph for a paper I wrote in 1964 for a freshman history class in college except for a few I pressed in aluminum foil before I bought a camera.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most of the foils have gotten damaged over the years but my Caligula sestertius foil is still in reasonably good shape.&nbsp; I got a little over $500 for the ~50.&nbsp; I thought three of the coins were worth more than he offered so I kept them making them my longest term coins.&nbsp; I know at least one was pre 1963 but all probably were.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
