[QUOTE="stevex6, post: 1647048, member: 44183"]I seem to be drawn towards the animal coins, whether they're Greek, Roman and/or whether they're from other outlying ancient civilzations ... "Birds" for example can be found on many coins (there are countless Eagles and Owls on both Greek and Roman coins) ... "Wolves", "Bulls" and "Lions" are a few examples of animals that are commonly found on many ancient coins ... ... then once you've got a couple of these nice common-animal collections going, I like to hunt for a few of the more rare animals (less commonly found on coins) like: dogs, turtles, hippos, rhinos, elephants, octopus, crocodiles, etc ... Oh, and then there are my favourites => the animals/creatures from the famous ancient myths => gryphons, minotaurs, satyrs, gorgons, pegasus, Pan, hippocamp, chimaera, etc, etc ... Man, I could go on all day about the numerous gorgeous coin-collecting options that are at your mere finger-tips (now that the internet allows us to search world-wide for these beauties!! ... nice) Anyway => "good luck" with whatever you decide to blow your money on!! ;)[/QUOTE]
