[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 5300440, member: 112342"]Often times we simply overlook certain types of (ancient) coins. For the sake of this thread I'm not talking about expensive or ultra-rare coins, but the ones we can afford to buy, yet not choose to! Sure I'd like to have an one or two coins of below examples, but not prepared to actively seek them out! 1. I just can't get behind any Roman coins from the Constantine era onward, I find them just boring, no variation in the busts, with same reverse designs, the only aspect that makes the late Roman coins interesting (at least to me) are the different mints. 2. Chinese coinage, their bronze cast coins (not their blade/knife money) had no such variations for more than two millennia but only for the change in their authority names. 3. Islamic coins, not all are same, some of the early Islamic coins, and the coins issued from newly conquered lands which incorporate their local culture are interesting. But I'm talking about majority of dirhams, dinars, and rupees that just have the names of the authority with no noticeable variations (similar to the Chinese coins). Sorry if I've offended anyone here, Tell me at which type of coins you go meh'[/QUOTE]
