<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2636434, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m with Q on this one.&nbsp; There are many resources online where you can go looking for nice coin photos but the weak spot on most of these is in the common (cheap!) varieties like Gallienus.&nbsp; This is perfectly understandable since it costs as much to photograph and publish a $20 as a $2000 coin so we can&#039;t expect big sellers like CNG to have as may Gallienus items as they do Caligulas.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We certainly could organize a resource that would benefit beginning collectors who are more likely to have a Gallienus or twenty than a single high roller.&nbsp; There are places you can post your collection and several of us have photos online of what we have but the usefulness to the hobby, low end division, would be greater if each common ruler were represented in one place and there were an index making it possible to find what was there.&nbsp; I once participated in a good idea called &#039;Coin Project&#039; and posted many of my Septimius coins there but none were ever verified by another &#039;expert&#039; and finding something among all the duplicates was not easy.&nbsp; I still look there sometimes but stopped verifying and adding more.&nbsp; I believe they are stronger in things like Otho than in thing I can afford. </p><p><a href="http://coinproject.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinproject.com/" rel="nofollow">http://coinproject.com/</a></p><p>I wanted to contribute to this thread but have trouble remembering what has been shown by those of you with many nicer coins than mine.&nbsp; Has anyone shown the Saturn?&nbsp; I always liked his hook (shown prominently here) with which he castrated his father Uranus.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]580983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
