How many Ancient collectors are on CT?

Just curious how many we have here. Even if you only have one ancient.

I have a few. But don't know much about them. I just thought it would be good to add to my US coin collection. I know that statement dosen't make sense since these are mostly Greek coins.

I am another Ancient Collector

BTW, I have now installed a simple Message Board on my web site to which I post notes, comments and addenda relating to Early British Tetrarchic Coinage and Roman Coin Lettering.

Archaic

(Given that this informal poll is not a statistical sampling....) Well, yes, there is hardly a form of money that I do not have one of, as an example, and I am really not a collector of anything but knowledge.

That said, when standing up to be counted, I am an ancients guy. My primary interest is in archaic and classical Greek, typically small silvers, about the value of a day's wages for a rower on a galley, a hoplite in the field, or a citizen at assembly. (Below, Syracuse litra 0.6 grams c. 400 BCE).
