Proofreaders Wante: Falling Horsemen

I'm about half way through the article and, so far, I find no grammatical or wordy problems. Good page of information so far.

I've just finished reading it and I didn't find any errors. This is an outstanding article which has sparked my interest in this very common series.

A very thorough and well written article. It does have a downside though. It is likely to spark more interest in the series, which will make them harder to obtain due to increased competition.

This is a fact that has followed me for decades. You can decide whether you want to collect publicly and educate the competition or keep it to yourself and not be able to find things because the dealers don't know there is a market for it. Years ago I taught several dealers how to tell the Septimius Eastern mints apart and pretty much priced myself out of the market for them because of people who did not know there were other mints all of a sudden taking up the hunt.

Another thread here has a post by a US collector who sold his silver dollars because their price was up. If he changes his mind, he could buy substantially the same coins back just by mailing checks to big dealers who have back stock. My Falling Horsemen are common coins but it would take a few years to assemble a similar set (not that there is anything special about these 58 coins but there is no dealer who has Constantius II backstock by officina number - you go broke stocking 2200 variations when there are not 2200 people who have any interest in the things). In 1974, poverty drove me to sell my collection including coins I'd like to have again but have not yet replaced. That is how it is with ancients: Too many coins, too little time and next to nobody cares.

Thanks chrsmat71. That 100 year error in the first line is embarrassing.

Doug. That is a great article / page!
I will be reading it again.
