<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3883199, member: 19463&quot;]Those of us who collect for more than a short while frequently identify a specialty (or ten) and see nothing wrong with multiples that differ from each other is ways that would not be appreciated by 90% of other collectors and almost no one new to the hobby.&nbsp; I like coins of Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna.&nbsp; There are several major types that I have gathered in multiples with minor variations in style if not in details.&nbsp; A common reverse for Domna is Venus from the rear.&nbsp; I currently have 40 each just a bit to greatly different.&nbsp; I see nothing wrong with this but do have a few favorites among the group and perhaps a dozen that are &#039;why did I buy that?&#039; status.&nbsp; To do a serious study of the type one would need a hundred times that number explaining why serious studies are not usually done wholly from a private collection.&nbsp; I have posted coins from this group too many times and doubt anyone reading this would appreciate the desire to have these let alone find more.&nbsp; I may be the only person here who even would recognize what sets some of these apart in my mind.&nbsp; That is OK; these are my coins.&nbsp; The one below is a bit unusual for a reason other than the ugly nose on both sides. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1025648[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
