Hello everyone, I have been collecting ancients for a few months now. I love my
history, especially that of the
Romans, and I enjoy collecting coins so it was only natural for them both to
cross paths.
My
collection at the moment is fairly small, the highlight so far is an AE 18 of
Alexander The Great my main ambition is to collect a coin of each of the
12 Caesars, then collecting others of interest. I have dabbled in uncleaned coins over the past few weeks with some
success, seem to find loads of Constantinian dynasty coins, nice but repetitive.
This past week I decided to push the boat out and treated myself to 1/16kg from [REMOVED BY ADMIN], which was said to give earlier coins than what you usually find online. What a lovely looking bunch I received too, I'm looking forward to getting to grips with them. I think one is perhaps
Antoninus Pius, the others look mostly greek.
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=5552 I'm not sure how to link a photo here so apologies in advance if I mess this up or have already broken some sort of posting rules. I have used
romancoin.info in the past but didn't realise there was a
forum as well, never though of clicking on discussion (oops!
). I decided to join because I think I will need
help in attributing my latest coins as I feel out of my depth in attributing the Greek ones. I
hope to
pick some
brains and enjoy some active discussion with like-minded people.
Nice to meet you all
Tom
