<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3729875, member: 86498&quot;]I am a generalist and collect both Greek and Roman coins. Compared to many my collection is rather small with about 300 Greek and about 340 Roman coins. However I do have a few small sub collections. Some civic coinages I find interesting and therefore I tend to concentrate my purchases on these mints. These mints would include Metapontion, Taras, Syracuse and Athens. I am interested in the coinage of Alexander III as well as his father so I do try to buy them as I see ones that interest me. I have always liked portraits so I tend to have a number of Seleukid coins.</p><p>&nbsp; With my Roman collection I tend to buy coins that I find interesting rather than simply rare. Thus I tend to have rather more coins of emperors whose coins I find interesting than those whom I do not. Thus I have more coins of Augustus, Trajan and Hadrian than I do of emperors like Gordian III, Aurelian or Constantine I. Okay a few new coins.</p><p>Av Double Daric Obv.
