[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2504853, member: 75525"]My collection (RR & cast bronze from Central Italy) has more holes than runs. I started concentrating on RR silver because most of the coins have an interesting story line / history to go with the coin. I do not see being able to have a large fraction of either area.

There are 550 Crawford numbers, but a gillion more if you include the letter number adders like Cr-89.1a, see below. I think part of my interest in ancient coins is I can still browse auction catalogs & coin show offerings to find interesting coins to borrow (we do not own these treasures, only hold them for a while). My two club series coins (of seven total), one silver and one bronze.
