<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3953709, member: 86498"]For me it is the larger diameter coins such as Greek tetradrachms and Roman Imperial sestertii. With the large diameter coins you get to see much more of the abilities of the ancient die cutters as they have the room to execute more complex designs. Having said that I do like denarii ( much easier to collect). Big does have some other advantages. Last week I brought some of my coins to a coin club for elementary school kids Grades 3 to 6. I let them hold and examine this guy my Libral standard cast as 225-217 B.C. Crawford 35 272.48 grms 65 mm[ATTACH=full]1041592[/ATTACH]As these are young children this coin is so much easier to keep track of<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
