As a new member for 2019, and having learned the ropes in the
Members' Gallery and Discussion Boards, I am ready for the big reveal:
Anaximander's Gallery. About half of my
collection has been uploaded, including nearly all of my Greek, Hellenistic,
Celtic, and 'Eastern Cultures' coins. I will be uploading the Sicilian coinage (
aka my very own
corpus nummorum siculorum).
Yet to come: the
Roman and
Medieval collections, with a focus on
Roman Empire, British hammered,
French royal and feudal, and
Crusader coinage.
My collecting
style has been to go wide, not deep. Collecting one coin of each
type or each emperor, for instance. I've centered on silver coinage, where available, and on a grade of
Very Fine or better. Like all things in life, compromises and detours have taken me to places that deviate from those norms, so you will ultimately find other metals, other grades, and some deeper plunges (Euboian drachms come to mind) and duplicates.
Feedback welcomed, and
help with numismatic references is always appreciated.
I'm accumulating numismatic reference books as I go. I've prepared a handful of Tables of Contents (TOCs) to
help where none was provided, and these are also uploaded to my
gallery. As for my books, I'm not sure how to show them. If anyone has examples of how numismatists share the titles in their
library, I'm all ears.
Lastly: my thanks to our host, Joe Sermarini, the
forum moderators, and the kind
members who take their time to share their wisdom and their enthusiasm.
