    I'm for @zumbly on that one just for the pleausure of being "different" :D

    As for the coin, I chose this one because it's as green as the OP is

    My thoughts are that it is @FitzNigel

    Why? His eclectic style

    Now that I see this, I want to select Fitznigel, but I will switch around later and say this is the coin belonging to Severus Alexander.

    I'll show this coin that I know I have shown before because it is one of my prettiest coins. Victor Clark gave it to me when I first expressed an interest in ancient coins and I just adore how brilliant and almost completely unhandled (apparently unhandled is not a word) it appears.

    I'm guessing @FitzNigel on this one. As a historian i think he would love a coin the illustrates the ancient trade links between East and West and the cultural exchanges that took place.

    This coin definitely belongs to zumbly. Why? Because it's 4:23 pm. :cool:

    Here's my super worn, but super awesome AR Shekel of Jerusalem.

    Erin, your book of coins -Wow! The pages are all filled up! If you saw my binder of ancients you would see about five pages with a lot of empty spaces. I still can not figure out how to organize them. Any suggestions? Alphabetize by ruler? Grouped by type of reverse? Organized chronologically?

    LOL, good luck! I have mine in albums by focus, but I still have a couple hundred Ancients that I still need to put in albums...

    That binder had mostly low grade Canadian coins in there that I sold earlier this year in a busted deal at a coin shop. My brother gave me a couple of his duplicate ancients to sell and I got ripped off on those pretty bad. :(

    I would love to have a binder packed full of sweet ancients. I'm going to reach that goal, it'll just take me a while to get there.

    I am the least organized person on the face of the planet. I like random, therefore, my collection is organized in a random way. The newest coin goes in the next slot. :vulcan:

    I was pretty confident on FitzNigel being the owner of the coin in the last round.

    Based on no firm evidence and only a hunch, I'm going zumbly on this one.

    With my World coins, I alphabetize by country. But that gets a bit foggy with ancients, so chronological might be the way to go. I use chronological order with my "Eclectic Box" postings, since that covers both ancient and more modern coins.

    I'm going with fitzNigel because I believe @Kasia when she says she is psychic. The picture isn't mine or coins that I own, but they were found by someone metal detecting, and I would lose my mind if I found these metal detecting.

    Now you are on my radar.



    P.S. You forgot the "Or something." [​IMG] It's a big part of it.

    Well if you get it right you can definitely take off the "or something." We will all be asking you for Powerball numbers too :happy:

    Hi @lordmarcovan! Yes. My world coin binder is alphabetized and then chronological within country. so far I have ancients in chronological order. As soon as I have some time I am going to put them in a spread sheet where I can cross reference them.

    i hope you and the family are well. Did your elegant cat come back home? I think about her sometimes.
