What a great collection! As a side to my Egyptian tetradrachms, I keep a lookout for campgates. But my few comes nowhere near to this.

the bust size on the constantine one is just such a talking point although i love them all as usual the clarity is A1
because you are collecting a series you may find yourself having to drop a point or two on the condition to obtain a rarer type dont let them get away as they are an important part of the collection WELL thats my opinion anyway keep up the good work

hill132 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:51:44 pm »

Helen you are absolutely right. Sometimes you have to give up quality for that rare coin you might be looking for. Believe me I have a few of them,but I like them just as much.

Thanks, Doug

Hi all added ROME and SISCIA to my campgate gallery.This takes some time but is really injoyable.I retired a few years back so I now have time to spend some time with my collection.Photographing them sorting them ect. Hope you like them because I sure do.Here are just a couple from gallery.

Thanks,Doug Hill

Martin R,Thanks for looking at my coins . It took me a few years to put this collection together.And I really injoyed the hunt. Im getting down to the end with these,so today was able to finish THESSALONICA. Hope members will like them.

Doug Hill

P.S. here are a few examples.

It's simply amazing...the amount of camp gates is just incredible. Your gallery will be a very useful resource.

It might be nice to have the attributions in the description that way they are searchable.

hill132 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 15, 2013, 11:53:18 pm »

Jay, I didn't realize or think about that. I can do that but it might take me some time. Bare with me and sooner or later I will get it done. Thanks for telling me because I do want to do this the proper way.

Doug,

Thanks for posting these stunning coins. They are a joy to see.

Sosius

hill132 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2013, 11:12:10 pm »

Sosius,thank you. Most non collectors go blank when I show them my collection. Its nice to have people who care about ancients. Also finished my CAMPGATES with last two mints of TIER and TICINUM.Here are a few examples.
