<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3167275, member: 14873&quot;]The time has come to dispose of most of my coin collection. Not all of it, for I intend to keep back a few coins that I have a special fondness for so that I may continue to pursue this hobby (in a more relaxed and limited way) that has provided me so much pleasure and enjoyment for most of my lifetime. I have planned this for some time and here on the cusp of my eighty ninth birthday the task is well on the way to completion. Paradoxically, I have recently purchased a few coins - but only to fill in spots in my retained collection. I have disassembled my Britannic Tetrarchic collection and my London Mint reduced folles collection almost entirely along with most of my British Usurper coin collection plus a number of my Julio-Claudian coins. All of the foregoing I am in the process of selling on consignment or via commercial Auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to keep a collection of twenty of my very favorite Roman Imperial coins - an Abafil tray (or rather a plastic flip page) full - mainly because I simply couldn’t bear to let them go. So far I have only eighteen selected in accordance with my long-time criteria:</p><p>1. Significant historical association</p><p>2. Well centered strike</p><p>3. Clear and complete inscriptions (as much as possible)</p><p>4. High quality inscriptional lettering</p><p>5. Britannia connection</p><p><br /></p><p>Following is this “Favorite Roman coin Collection” in two separate posts for general information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
