<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 3717434, member: 83175&quot;]Interesting question and I have wondered a little about how many coins I&#039;ll have and what my collection will look like when I decide it&#039;s finished, whatever finished means.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have 1638 coins on Tantalus as of today - that doesn&#039;t include everything, but does include a lot of coins which aren&#039;t ancient, so perhaps I have about fifteen hundred ancient coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the last few years, like several others here, I&#039;ve been mostly interested in Roman Republican coins and have somewhere between six and seven hundred RR coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ultimately, I&#039;d like to have a reasonably comprehensive collection - maybe this means about two thousand coins and will take another couple of decades, at a guesstimate.&nbsp;&nbsp; For Greek coins, I wanted to have an example of each of the iconic coins - owl of Athens, turtle of Aegina, Pegasus of Corinth, Boeotian shield, something wonderful from Syracuse, Ajax of Locris, wrestlers of Aspendos and so on (and on).&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, one owl leads to five or six, to cover the different types and I still need the later land tortoise of Aegina to go with the sea turtle, and I have worn Syracuse tetradrachms but a decadrachm would be nicer and, and...</p><p>So, for now, I don&#039;t have any fixed limits, none that will be reached for many years anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
