I'm a long time collector (25+ yrs) and have been a member of this forum since 2007. I finally got around to creating a gallery of some of my coins.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=20669

I have created 2 albums: 
Elagabalus denarii from Antioch,
Severus Alexander denarii from Antioch.

I hope to add a few more albums in the future.

A nice start of a gallery. One understands, seeing it, that you are not a newbie at coin collecting !

Very good
JC

In my albums of denarii of Elagabalus and Severus Alexander from Antioch, I have a number of coins not listed in RIC or Sear -- the 2 reference works available to me.  Curtis Clay looked up references to many of these coins from other reference works, museum collections, and hoards, and posted these references as comments on these coins.  I wish to publicly thank Mr Clay for the time and effort he has taken to do this.

Mr Clay also commented on 3 coins which share an obverse die and what order the coins were struck, based on die wear. In the albums the 3 coins can not all be viewed at the same time, so I am posting a picture below of the 3 obverses in the order of striking.

Elagabalus RIC 201 TEMPORVM FEL
Elagabalus RIC 187 CONCORDIA MILIT
Elagabalus RIC 166 CONSVL II
