<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 8126721, member: 42773&quot;]This is a great thread idea, and it&#039;s been instructive to read. I&#039;m an avid goal setter - most of my days start with making a detailed to-do list - and like others, my goals can be broken down into organization, collecting, and reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you know that I have a large collection of Nabataean coins - it&#039;s a specialty that appealed to me early in my collecting career, and I&#039;ve gradually acquired an enviable type set of all the kings (if in fact there&#039;s anything even remotely enviable about having a collection of Nabataeans). At this point, the only pieces I can add are rarities that only come on to the market occasionally, and at great expense. I&#039;m shooting for one in Triton XXV, and I&#039;m going to have to go deep with a Hail Mary pass on it - it may end up being my largest outlay on a single coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, I have a great many coins I need to organize and photograph. At one point I was maintaining an informational website about Nabataean coins, but I didn&#039;t have the resources to continue it. A few years back, Joe Sermarini at FORVM invited me to post pages about my collection, so I may take him up on it, if the offer is still open. Here is a sample spanning some 4 1/2 centuries...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415374[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been toying with assembling a collection of the coinage of Bostra, which is a natural progression, as Trajan began minting there after the Roman annexation of Nabataea in AD 106.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
