[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 3927680, member: 100136"]When I first started looking into buying some ancient coins, and before I knew about VCoins and reliable eBay sellers, etc, I did some searching for smaller UK coin sellers and had a pretty poor experience looking for reasonably priced Nerva-Antonines. Recently, however, i've been reading more and more history about Roman Britain, after having become interested in the Britannia types of Hadrian and Antoninus, and I've been flirting with making a side collection of British coins across the ages. Looking back at the sites I dismissed over the last few weeks I've discovered that a number of sites I dismissed for my main collection area are a treasure trove for small numbers of coins from the Tetrarchy that can be traced directly back to the hoard that contained them. That didn't really mean anything to me this time last year when I was getting started, but I am seriously considering delving into a small London Mint side collection made entirely of coins with hoard provenance or with a direct reference to the PAS. It really is fascinating tracking down papers published about the hoard and the history associated with it. Good aquisitions![/QUOTE]
