<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greekandromancoins, post: 2779731, member: 87990&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I tend to behave like the proverbial kid in a candy store when it comes to ancients, I do exercise <i>some</i> discipline about what I collect:</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my current wish list as best as I can express it:</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Philip II of Macedon &quot;young man / horseman&quot; bronze coins. I am collecting these. I will rarely say no to one of them provided it is in reasonable grade (VF and above, with control mark(s) readable).</li> <li>Philip II AR Tetradrachm in aEF to EF. For whatever reason I have never owned one.</li> <li>Sestertius of Faustina I in aEF to EF. I am a fondness for coinage issued in her name but do not have any in higher grades.</li> <li>Antioch tetradrachms. I own one of the best Domitian Tetradrachms that I have ever seen (photo below) - and yes I am biased because I own the coin below! Budget allowing, I would like more tetradrachms from Antioch, in comprable grades or higher, of other emperors. I also have Otho and Nerva.</li> <li>Antioch SC bronze coinage. I had a huge lot of these over a decade ago when I bought a wholesale lot from someone. I then parted with it and it has come to be one of my few regrets. I have become fascinated with this coinage since recently picking up a copy of the book by Butcher.</li> <li>Lysimachos tetradrachms. I own a few of these but none in high enough grade to write home about. I would like more.</li> <li>Alexander tetradrachms. I could comfortably just collect these if I had a big enough budget to work through them - there are just too many! On my immediate wish list is a Temnos tetradrachm of comparable grade or higher to the one in my avatar. As mentioned in another thread, I used to own the one in my avatar but parted with it and now have &quot;seller&#039;s regret&quot;.</li> <li>Roman Imperial with nice portraits. I am not trying to complete any set. The Roman Imperial coins I buy are the ones which for some reason call out to me.</li> <li>Greek coinage. Same as Roman Imperial, I will buy ones which call out to me. Sometimes they might be common bropnze coins. Other times they might be expensive silver coins. Hard to narrow this down into a wish list.</li> <li>Gold coins are for some reason not on my list. I have come to realise it is not just budget related, I do not have a particular attraction to electrum or gold coins.</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.ancientcointraders.com/images/Domitian_Tetradrachm_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
