<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4571685, member: 110350"]Since I have such a comparatively small collection, it's easy for me to know the exact numbers of various kinds of coins I have, even though I theoretically "collect" coins in each of your first three categories. Out of a total of 158 ancient coins I currently own, 8 would count as "Greek," 27 are Roman Republican, 4 are Roman Provincial, 119 are Roman Imperial, and one could be classified as both Roman Provincial and Roman Imperial (the Augustus-Agrippa/crocodile "COL NEM" coin, which is listed in both RPC and RIC, as well as Sear, etc.). Plus one of the "Greek" coins was issued by a city in Lydia that had been bequeathed to the Roman Republic 8 years previously, together with the rest of the former Pergamene territories, so what does that count as -- Roman Republican Provincial?</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus I still have hundreds of British coins, and British and French historical medals, even though I no longer actively collect them and they're not ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
