<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 5009761, member: 106483&quot;]Focusing.</p><p>I used to collect Roman Imperial denarii/radiates but was met with total indifference and the reverse subject matter was generally boring. So off they went, so much so I have somehow, retained no pictures or details of them! They are small coins so I wanted bigger and bolder but knew less about Greeks than Roman.</p><p>Alexanders,Seleucids,Athens Old Style, cistophorus ,Thasos came and went to focus on the glorious Athens NewStyle series and some Mithradatic related coins.These tell a story and interpretation can be still controversial.</p><p>Some need improving, one has been cos the flat strike got on my nerves, but need only about 4 to complete my project.</p><p>I have a couple of ex so &amp; so&#039;s collection but it&#039;s not a big thing for me, found, excavated,smuggled from Turkey, Syria or Balkans to Germany, USA or London that&#039;s the provenances&#039; I suspect. I wish I knew the context but that is unlikely now or in the future.</p><p>At least I try to show some research on the coins and not just tick off a list. Which is, of course, what happened with the Eid Mar aureus-I&#039;d love to know the truth of its backstory and who knew of its existence before its recent surfacing and research.</p><p>So maybe my coins and collecting methods are in distinguished aristocratic modern-times company .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
