<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3256645, member: 14873&quot;]My collection aim/goal for 2019 is to reconstitute a collection of a few nicely patinated (mostly) Julio-Claudian sestertii that show wear and use and with well executed, mostly complete, legends. That is what I collected when I started my love affair with Ancient coins almost eighty years ago and I intend to finish with them!</p><p><br /></p><p>Following are extracts from some postings I made here in the past:</p><p><br /></p><p>“I previously said that the time has come for me to downsize my Ancient coin collection so that my family will not be burdened with disposing of so many great artifacts they know nothing (or very little) about when I depart this wonderful world. But how to do that and still retain a very small “swan song” collection of coins that I can fondle and admire and read about in my “golden years”? Well, I think I have achieved that goal: I have consigned the majority of my Tetrarchic Romano Britannic coins for Auction by a highly respected Dealer - and retained just a few coins to satisfy my need to have some to fondle, admire and study”</p><p><br /></p><p>Later I wrote:</p><p><br /></p><p>“But, how weak willed or lacking in resolve some of us (me, actually) are ...... I forgot that there are a couple more - absolutely the last for sure (!!!)”</p><p><br /></p><p>And later yet:</p><p><br /></p><p>“My goal was to retain 16 coins and my final (ahem) count is 15</p><p><br /></p><p>…………… which goes to emphasize my weakness when it comes to Roman Imperial coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>You never overcome this disease!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>And I intend to keep “rocking on” for awhile Erin dude! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
