Mr. [USER=79167]@Johnnie Black[/USER] used an expression when discussing my post about “<i>The Five Good Emperors</i>”. He said (<i>referring to himself</i>): “<i>Generally I’m not a filling holes kind of collector…</i>” Anyway, that expression has haunted me all week. I think his phrase is an excellent one (<i>thank you Mr. Black!</i>) I too thought that I did not approach ancient coin collecting as someone who has to obtain an example of every type of coin ever made by a specific kingdom, emperor, mint, or...whatever. I was wrong because I have been filling holes in my Judaean collection all week and I’m far from being finished. The more coins that I collect the more I realize how far I am from having them all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And, how far I am from filling all of the holes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">Here&#039;s the latest. The recent additions have <span style="color: #ff0000"><b>red</b></span> captions. I don&#039;t like to show coins that I don&#039;t yet have in hand but two of these are still in the mail. I&#039;ve got five more on the way and I&#039;ll have an updated poster to show you next week also. A couple of these, I already had but didn&#039;t know it. The coins are not in order by date but by Hendin number.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]755695[/ATTACH] </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
