<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2366093, member: 75641&quot;]Well, thank you all for the substantial and fun greetings!&nbsp; It is really nice to see so many coins that I am either actively collecting or have an interest in being posted here on a regular basis.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] , I think I am lucky to have a daughter that is interested in history and science and just how cool the world around her is.&nbsp; I KNOW I am lucky to have a fiance who enjoys my enjoyment of my hobbies.&nbsp; I try to limit the amount of &quot;oooh! look at this&quot; moments to the special ones so she doesn&#039;t get burned out by seeing too much stuff that probably is not that interesting to her.&nbsp; Luckily she was a history major like me, so there is at least a baseline appreciation for anything that piques her interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am always in flux about how I want to present my collection.&nbsp; Currently, I have everything that is photographed on photo bucket, which is still missing Russian and much other stuff.&nbsp; Even the vast majority of British and British India.&nbsp; I am thinking of starting a Forvm gallery but it is such a large project that for right now, pb it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]483263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]483264[/ATTACH]&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/user/casinoslave2002/library/Ancient%20Collections?sort=3&amp;page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s269.photobucket.com/user/casinoslave2002/library/Ancient%20Collections?sort=3&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://s269.photobucket.com/user/casinoslave2002/library/Ancient Collections?sort=3&amp;page=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Above is a fun little Probus that I picked up for relatively cheap ($15).&nbsp; I have really enjoyed the Aorta book because I really like understanding better how obverse, reverse and legend types are put together and then being able to identify and collect all of a mint&#039;s issues from a design/year.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] will attest, I am pretty much a crazy person because I really like to only spend no more than $15 per coin (including shipping where applies) so the challenge is to find good coins at low prices so I can flesh out sets.&nbsp; In my pb account, there are some pretty rough examples, but I can at least identify and mostly read legends which is my bare minimum of what I want to buy.&nbsp; Also some were included with other purchases and I never throw anything away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wordy, sorry.&nbsp; I also do not mind the opinions of others, especially if I am not as knowledgable about a subject as I should be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
