    I imagine I'm one of the few forum members who can do this, but at the request of Eric Kondratieff and with help from TIF, I will post my entire collection in one Abafil tray photo. If I had a better camera, better lighting, and a tripod, it would be a much better photo. I can hear the groans already!:bigtears:

    The collection will total 29 coins when the empty compartment is filled. It is waiting for the Thurium double nomos from Goldberg, with which I recently started a thread.

    It would be a bit more disciplined if I hadn't purchased the last 6, NON-MAGNA GRAECIA coins! :stop::greedy:

    I like your collection focus. I started out looking for artistic Greek silver. That quickly included bronzes. Then I could not stop myself from collecting roman because of the history. Lately I really went to the dark side by starting on byzantine. :)

    I don't know, @ancientnut, I kind of think the tray needs a grungy GLORIA EXERCITVS. A concentration of that much uncommon beauty in one spot is surely disturbing the balance of nature :).

    I could do the same. My collection is equally as small, but if I may say so, yours is more stunning. It may be small, but you have quite a high quality collection.
