<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7342870, member: 111037"]This thread highlights one of the main problems of this forum (and the only reason that this problem exists is that this forum is full of active and knowledgeable collectors, so it is a compliment really). Many members do wonderful write-ups for wonderful coins that are full of useful info, but they soon end up way back in the thread history never to be seen again. I wish there was some kind of nicely categorised index where one could find all these articles. The featured option is quite useful and helps a lot, but not all great threads get nominated to be featured and it still is a list of threads that is many pages long. Perhaps there could be some kind of a pinned thread containing just links to great write-ups nicely categorised according to civilisation/ruler etc. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for my own write-ups for this year, I have realised that I haven't done many. Work has picked up and I am quite busy lately, so even though I bought many coins I didn't spend much time researching them in order to give them a nice presentation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the ones that I have written more than a paragraph or two about, but none really compare to some of the wonderful write-ups I have seen in this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-last-of-the-great-seleukids.373812/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-last-of-the-great-seleukids.373812/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-last-of-the-great-seleukids.373812/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1281260[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/from-the-dark-ages-of-parthia-to-the-highlights-of-my-collection.374506/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/from-the-dark-ages-of-parthia-to-the-highlights-of-my-collection.374506/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/from-the-dark-ages-of-parthia-to-the-highlights-of-my-collection.374506/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1281261[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/they-called-him-the-besieger.375060/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/they-called-him-the-besieger.375060/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/they-called-him-the-besieger.375060/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1281262[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-eunuch-who-ate-all-the-pies.376902/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-eunuch-who-ate-all-the-pies.376902/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-eunuch-who-ate-all-the-pies.376902/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1281263[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-empire-strikes-back-nicaea-hyperpyron.377584/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-empire-strikes-back-nicaea-hyperpyron.377584/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-empire-strikes-back-nicaea-hyperpyron.377584/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1281264[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Perhaps there could be some kind of a pinned thread containing just links to great write-ups nicely categorised according to civilisation/ruler etc. What do you think? As for my own write-ups for this year, I have realised that I haven't done many. Work has picked up and I am quite busy lately, so even though I bought many coins I didn't spend much time researching them in order to give them a nice presentation. Here are the ones that I have written more than a paragraph or two about, but none really compare to some of the wonderful write-ups I have seen in this forum.
