OK I just got back from work. I started this yesterday and I know maybe I should probably just put the Obv. of the coin instead of just cropping out the portrait. Oh well here is a few pictures of the emperors I am not finished and need to go through a bunch of photos or just take out the coins again and start from there but I hate going through my coins sometimes it just takes forever to find a coin im looking for maybe I should organize my collection better. I have more emperors but my photos are as unorganized as my coins are. ANTONINUS PIUS TRAJAN DOMITIAN HADRIAN VESPASIAN MARCUS AURELIUS FAUSTINA II GORDIAN III DIOCLETIAN MAXIMIANUS LICINIUS I CONSTANTINE I CONSTANTINE II CARACALLA PHILIP I Elagabalus Severus Alexander Septimius Severus TETRICUS II VICTORINUS POSTUMUS MAGNENTIUS HOSTILIAN HELENA GALLIENUS Claudius CLAUDIUS GOTHIKAS AURELIAN
"I know maybe I should probably just put the Obv. of the coin instead of just cropping out the portrait." I for one would always prefer to see all of the coin (both sides). A few of the photos suffer from camera motion (Trajan is the worst) which is an easy thing to correct.
I cant edit the post so here are some better pictures of a few of my coins. POSTUMUS MARCUS AURELIUS CONSTANTINE I Constantine II VICTORINUS Septimus Severus SEVERUS ALEXANDER DIOCLETIAN MAXIMIANUS LICINIUS I CONSTANTIUS II MAGNENTIUS GORDIAN III Faustina I Antoninus Pius HOSTILIAN CAESAR CARACALLA DOMITIAN DIVUS AUGUSTUS TETRICUS I TETRICUS II AURELIAN PROBUS GALLIENUS CLAUDIUS II VESPASIAN HADRIAN TRAJAN Elagabalus Philip I
That's a great collection! For a few years now I have been thinking that an emperor type collection would be pretty sweet. Planning on displaying a coin of each emperor with a blurb about the history during their reign and so forth. Unfortunately, I am pretty diversified in my collecting interests (US coins, currency, fishing lures, etc), so I've only acquired 4 of the more common emperor varieties. You've inspired me to focus my efforts on adding to the collection.
Thanks cherd for the compliments, I collected US coins and currency for many years too before getting ancients and I still do but ancients have renewed my excitement in coin collecting. Good luck and have lots of fun if you decide to buy a few. One reason I like ancients is because of the Farely cheap prices for these little pieces of handmade ancient art.
