Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2873886, member: 10461"]Thanks.  It is pretty thick, as most ancient Greek coins tend to be, but teeeny-tiny in size!  I wish I had taken some pictures of it on my fingertip and maybe sitting on a dime, prior to sending it off to be slabbed.  It's way tinier than an aspirin tablet.  Ever give your dog a tiny little heartworm pill?  It's more like that.  Maybe the size of some small lentil beans.  But that tiny size makes it all the more fun and interesting, and makes one respect the ancient Greek artisans all the more, that they could engrave that terrific portrait on dies so small. Indeed, sir, indeed, though it took me a very long time - decades, in fact - to evolve into that sort of "freestyle" collector, for some reason.  I always liked the "structure" of "sets", and filling holes in albums.  In fact, I still would keep some album sets going on the side (I loved the Dansco #7070 US Type set albums, for example), but most of my (very modest) numismatic budget goes into this collection.  I do have a small sideline collection of love tokens, which is presently in a much more disorganized state than this collection.[/QUOTE]
