Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 12:26 pm That's a fairly nice for the first coin purchase. I think my first purchase was in poorer condition. I'll have to look at mine and see. My first actual ancient coin was given to me by JW. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 12:51 pm Some years back, my very first Roman coin was in rather poor condition--and I overpaid for it. It may explain why I got disinterested. The second time around, I bought a nicer "first" coin. You chose well! Report this Post to the Staff

Pretty nice first purchase gil-galad Amazingly, I still don't have a nice campgate, and may not have one for sometime soon (right now looking at other Romans I'm more interested in ) Here are my actual first two ancients; I bought them at the same time at a local coin show in April of last year. Gallienus (during joint reign with Valerian I) Constantine II as Caesar Report this Post to the Staff
