Ashley must have shown Scarlett his ancient coin collection

Ashley Wilkes must have shown Scarlett O'Hara his ancient coin collection.
How else would she know about ancient or Roman coins?

From Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, published in 1936.

(About Rhett Butler when he is driving the coach through burning Atlanta)
"In the unholy crimson glow that bathed them, his dark profile stood out as clearly as the head on an ancient coin, beautiful, cruel and decadent".

(About Rhett Butler, just before he leaves her)
"Drink and dissipation had done their work on the coin-clean profile and now it was no longer the head of a young pagan prince on new-minted gold but a decadent, tired Caesar on copper debased by long usage".

    I think I vaguely recall the second reference, but had forgotten about the first one. Cool!
