    Wow => apparently, Z-bro is the current King of coin-numbers .... I thought you were a mere 30-40 year old kind of guy (man, I wasn't even collecting at your age => you are going to be the all-time King before the end of days, my cool coin-friend)

    Oh => and here is your reward ... yup, BABYMETAL




    :rolleyes:

    ... just jokes, Z (you rock!!)

    By the way, Tiffany is not my name and TIF is not a monogram of my name. It is an abbreviation of my first coin forum user name, "This Is Fun" :D.

    Edit: huh, that's odd. My home page link now goes to an extremely ugly Byzantine coin. I'll fix it in a minute.

    Edited again: Fixed. That explains why Google Analytics suddenly showed a large number of hits to that Byzantine coin o_O.

    Haha, thanks for putting a smile on my face with that. Ah, BABYMETAL...

    Well, I started this gig late and so am merely trying to play catchup to Doug and his 17 kilos. Anyway, what's quantity to quality... I'm sure most here would rather spend time trying to crack your safe rather than mine :D.

    sorry yah, I forgot about Doug (but I always think of him up in the clouds, looking-down on the rest of us, ya know?)

    Judging and knowing-all ... he's kinda kinda like the Gordie Howe of coin collecting (most of you will need to look-up that name, I'm guessing?)


    ;)

    And I, without looking, presumed it was because you used the TIF format instead of jpg for your coin images!

    I've been adding/replacing since January and combined with the few I had left.....about 200 and in similar proportions as 'Z' posted above-----and about 50 obsolete moderns with a few examples of Confederate currency.

    Oh, and yes => I also have a few thousand moderns that I neglected to mention ... ummm, I'm glad to see that a few people still collect moderns ...

    :rolleyes:

    ... man, I should probably sell a bunch of them and buy some more cool ancient coins, eh? (my moderns are merely collecting dust) ..... nah, they still represent the majority of my coin collecting years (wow, if only I could go back in time)

    I was going to list all my U.S. coins until I read these posts. Ha, ha! I am sorry to say I only have 1 ancient coin left of the many I had years ago. I saved my Ptolemy II Tetradrachm 285-266 B.C. 14.2 grams. It's about the size of a U.S. quarter. If you want to know what is in my U.S. collection, I will be happy to tell you that, also.
