The very first ancient
Roman coin I purchased.
I
had no idea anyone could buy ancient
Roman coins. I just happened to be on
Ebay in 2009 and saw this. I bought it with no knowledge of
ancient coins. It was $1700 so no small amount for me. I was pretty stupid to jump in the way I did.
After
buying it I decided to maybe learn a
bit more. I got nervous real quick. Terrified actually. Wondering if I
had been foolish enough to throw a large amount of
money away. I decided to send it to David
Sear who thankfully
certified it as authentic. Now whether it was a high
price in 2009 can certainly be argued. In the end I am OK with my very first ancient. I now have over 900 coins and there is
still so much to learn. Not the best photo.
