<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 1881563, member: 44154&quot;]I&#039;ve done a overhaul on my coins a few times until I have a format that I am mostly satisfied with. I&#039;ve also studied each coin that I have as much as I can. I often tell some people that each coin has a story to tell. So then, with a Roman coin I&#039;d tell them about the ruler, god/goddess on the reverse, some of the implements that they carry and some amount of symbolism behind some things as best as possible, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have more to learn myself, but am by no means a newbie anymore. As I&#039;ve heard some say, I&#039;m a student of ancient numismatics and history. I believe I am also that way now days.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I think you are past the newbie stage. Too much humility isn&#039;t good, at least in my opinion. You are now into advanced subjects, as well as helping other people. That automatically disqualifies you as a newb. lol</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as too many coins. I&#039;ve never had a backlog of coins. I study them as soon as they arrive, consult online references, my own books, etc. I learn as much as I can about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember when you first started collecting ancient coins, I believe. You&#039;ve come along way and you are a lot better now then before. I&#039;ve noticed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
