Hello everyone!
I have seen that many other people post galleries with their coins in in the past, and I really enjoy scrolling down the list of
collections seeing what everybody has managed to acquire. I am always amazed at the perfect, extremely
rare coins that
forvm users have managed to obtain. Although my
collection is quite small and has basically no
rarities compared to other
collections, I
hope that you will enjoy looking at them nevertheless.
I started collecting about 3 years ago, but it was only until late 2016/early 2017 that I started to collect
roman coins. Even later
still, I decided to specialize to collect
antoniniani, because it represented a difficult time for the empire, and there are so many emperors to get coins of as a result (incidentally, I am trying to get an
antoninianus of every emperor that issued one, although it'll get difficult when i have to get coins of
Laelianus or
Proculus!). Also, it is great to see the debasement of the coinage over a period of time, and to see what reforms the emperors may have done, successfully or otherwise, to rescue the
quality of the coins.
Please bear in mind looking at my
gallery that my
budget is limited; I am quite a young collector and I have tried to obtain the best specimens I can for what funds I have available (up until recently, the most I
had spent on a single coin was little over £20 - now it is £80!). Also, this isn't my full
collection; The vast majority of my coins are
still in those cardboard-envelopes-with-a-plastic-window-in things, so I haven't been able to get any
good photographs of them for now (the plastic makes it very difficult to get a
good photo), but I
hope to move my
collection to a tray/cabinet
style soon, so I will try to upload pictures of them in the near future.
So, please check out my
collection and enjoy!
