Hi Everyone 

Another newbie here to make an introduction.

I've been collecting silver for around a year now, initially because I thought it would be a good long-term investment. However once I'd got my first few ounces, the lure of the shiny was too difficult to overcome, so nowadays I keep buying silver purely because I enjoy feeling like a medieval king with a chest full of treasure. I'm a big history fan, so I was collecting Roman coins before I got started on the silver bullion. My current favourite antique coin that I own is a Roman Dupondius from around 27BC (sadly, it's only made of brass...)

I've also recently added a shiny new half-sovereign to the collection - the first bit of gold I've ever bought. Will definitely be adding more at some point in the near future, along with more silver coins that have interesting or beautiful designs.

Thank you

Don't be sad about your dupondius bring "only brass". It's a real coin, made for circulation, which gives it a big edge on all the modern coins made to sell to collectors.

I'm sure we are all glad to hear you are in the building!

Welcome to the forum matey,

Did your interest in roman coins stem from metal detecting by any chance?

If so, always good to see a fellow detectorist on here there are a few of us, and if not - get yourself a detector and onto some digs
