Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2747560, member: 10461"]And there we have it.  What's left of the pictures of my first serious ancient coin collection, when I was a novice Roman collector.  (Not that I claim to be anywhere above low-intermediate status now). Quantity over quality, particularly with the rather junky later stuff, but I had fun "filling holes" and checking them off the list. I'm missing quite a few photos.  Some empresses are gone.  Here's a few I notice missing that I did have coins for:<ul> <li>Livia</li> <li>Pupienus (a decent sestertius)</li> <li>Clodius Albinus</li> <li>Helena</li> </ul>... and no doubt more. After my 2008 layoff and distress sale (I kept the Zeno solidus for a few more years, on my Holey Gold Hat), I sort of got disorganized. Counting what's here, I come up with exactly 100 pieces.  So maybe I had 110-120 different personalities. It wasn't the most beautiful collection, but I was mighty proud of it at the time, and looking back, a decade or so later, I'm somewhat impressed that I got so far with it in such a short time.  I learned a whole lot, too. Thanks for visiting, if you did.  That's my "blast from the past" for today.[/QUOTE]
