<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 4821331, member: 83175&quot;]I forgot to count a currency bar fragment, so I guess it&#039;s 705 and I have a few not on Tantalus, so maybe 710, it&#039;s hard to be exact.</p><p><br /></p><p>No, it&#039;s not a competition - some would favour quality over quantity and many of mine are in the latter category!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure exactly how many coins there are in the RR series - there are 2281 entries on <a href="http://numismatics.org/crro/results" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/crro/results" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/crro/results</a> - some of them are similar enough - before you get to control marks, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; One could go further than Crawford and split up many of his numbers to get further entries, as Andrew has done with the anonymous bronzes, where many issues are lumped under Cr. 56.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then, there are many issues not in Crawford at all, but which arguably should be included - Social Wars issues (I have none), Provincial coins (again, none) or the imitative issues of the Eravisci and others (I have ten or eleven of these).&nbsp;&nbsp; There are plenty of side projects possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve counted duplicates and near-duplicates to get to 705 -&nbsp; e.g. eleven examples of Cr. 340/1, the 90BC Piso Frugi denarius, with different control marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>At some stage, I&#039;ll only be able to afford one or two rarities a year and it&#039;ll be time to stop and upgrade some of the sorrier specimens.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m making very little progress with a bigger plan to make a decent website for all my coins - this is the start of the Greek part of it - every mint from which I&#039;e got coins on a Google Map.&nbsp;&nbsp; Eventually, each link will open a webpage with info. on the city and the coins and links to the coins themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; So far, only the Syracuse and Himera links do much; while Rome links to the Republican coins, for which I have a reasonably up-to-date page:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1_mZKXNWZ73LJ8h61rQfBxcMlLQk&amp;usp=sharing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1_mZKXNWZ73LJ8h61rQfBxcMlLQk&amp;usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1_mZKXNWZ73LJ8h61rQfBxcMlLQk&amp;usp=sharing</a></p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
