[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2394009, member: 77704"]Steve, thanks for that post. Answer to all question... Yes, I have many with animals, like I have 13 of the Wildlife Conservation coins issued by 24 Countries circa 1974-79 (ex: Indonesia=Komodo Dragon) Then many like Nurnberg Lamb Dukats etc. Theme to my madness? Nope. I collect from 650BC to most modern from above. I really cannot afford what I want most....so, try to get at least some nice material. Since, most AV Aurei are out of reach, I will start to build a collection of the AR denarius/ants, that way I can get most emperors/usurpers.... Quality, I try to obtain material in FDC/Mint state/EF. Just something in my blood that makes me want that. One thing, I must say, it is nice to share the coins(photos) with others, like we are doing these days, on this forum. Its to bad that there are collectors sitting on fantastic coins, but we only get to ever see them in an auction catalogue. Back to animals, I figure with my new goal to obtain Roman silver coinage, there are lots with hippos/elephants/lions/antelopes....actually, my oldest coin (Lydia 1/12 Stater depicts that Lion with a nob on his nose![/QUOTE]
