    Who here are the multi collectors, who collect moderns AND ancients a lot of people say it's one or the other, but alot of people collect both to, so I made this for people who collect both *its still a work in progress* I made this from 20 apps I downloaded from Google play and I've never done anything like it so bear with me here, if you have any suggestions please post them here (also this doesn't fit as a profile pic yet as it says the file is overy 50 kb not sure how to fix that but I'll do my best and I'm still working on it! (@Deacon Ray and his Bottom Feeders club inspired me to do this). I'm really proud of it personally because I think the morgan and denariusis clever, all so I still have to trim the circle out of the white I just figured it'd look better on white for the forum post.

    I collect military trade tokens and other forms of military money, but I specialize in Air Force issues because I'm Air Force.

    Here are some examples:

    One of my favorites:

    TX481, brass, 28mm, Unlisted

    Another:
    KR1420c Osan AB 5c.jpg
    KR1420c, aluminum, 26mm

    And of course ancients!

    It can be challenging pursuing both themes but they make me happy. I have given up on US collecting. The slabs and flipper mentality have drove me away; since neither is prevalent in ancients or exonumia I think I'm safe.

    I laugh when I see $4 tokens in a $35 dollar case sit unsold.

    Great post, Jacob! I'm afraid that I only collect ancients. Thanks for the Bottom Feeder Club credit but the honor really needs to go to @Sallent who was the originator of the concept ;)
