Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 10:23 pm Thanks jskirwin, I know that there are millions out there( since the Roman empire/republic was around for over a millennium-(not even talking about the Byzantine empire-) still ,Its nice to own these coins Owning Roman coins always reminds me of a quote from Raiders of the Lost Ark: "Look at this [silver pocket watch] it's worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it,and I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless!" Thats kind of how I feel about coin collecting I love history and despite so many of them out there I cant help but get a kick out of owning something that was made 2000 years ago give or take a century. I am sure others feel the same and others have other reasons for them( making money for one) Edited by Matt2018 01/25/2018 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
