Made this meme from my knowledge of ancient coins, please share your opinions. This is based on the popularity, cost, and the nicheness of certain coins/subjects.
Holy cow!! Love it!! You should have this made into a poster for sale. Or, make it into a (please forgive me ) "Dansco" type album...can you imagine completing one of those!
Great idea! You obviously put a lot of thought and time into this! I have examples from each of the 7 categories/levels you included. You have inspired me to make a similar chart based on my own interests in ancient coinage. There is such a high degree of subjectivity in this. For instance... ...1. My overall collection theme is predominately "biblical", yet even I would not place "widows mite" as high as you did. In terms of being desirable for a biblical collection it admittedly falls high on the list, but for me it is not as high as a shekel of Tyre. Also mites are not all overpriced. I just did a quick search on VCoins for "mite"/"mites" and found 53 (!!!) different listings for $20 or less. ...2. An antoninianus of Gordian III which shows on your illustration in the next-to-the-top category would be way underneath the iceberg on my list. At the risk of redundancy allow me to say again that your project was a wonderful idea! It has challenged me to do likewise. And it's actually a good and helpful exercise for deciding how to prioritize precious funds for future acquisitions. Thanks for sharing!
