Re: Ancient Coin
A belated Happy Birthday Sal! Nice piece of history there. While i do not specifically collect ancients, I have a few. Its amazing to hold one in hand and imagine what all its been through! Some types, amazingly, can be had for as little as 5.00 on eBay just b/c there were so very many made of some of them.
