Message:: [QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1389378, member: 5739"]Well I still like the British India and British commonwealth coins, and if I see ones I do not have or ones I like, I will still either buy them or wish I had money to buy them heh..... But lately I have found Ancient Roman coinage more interesting, and have really enjoyed collecting Roman coins, mostly only silver Roman coins, from the first century AD on through the 3rd century..... Silver Antoninianii of Caracalla and Elagabalus as well as Silver Tetradrachmai struck in Syria of certain Emperors.... quite historical and fascinating stuff, as is the more recent history of British India and other countries.... So I suppose I still collect just about everything.... I always did like silver coins the most though, as well as small coins, such as Maundy coins of which I have many, and the British 'threehalfpence' or 'one and one half pence' silver coin..... of which I only have one... of 1839, but it is not too far from unc and has a prooflike obverse. It was a gift from a British man I worked for in 2005, and he was 96 when he gave it to me..... he died a few years later, but gave me many coins while I was with him and got me into world coins a bit more than otherwise I think...he left me some nice maundy coins which I treasure... all Victorian.[/QUOTE]
