Approaching 50

Getting 51 ? :)

YEah, make it 51 but maybe save up for a gold one to celebrate ^^


I know that will be expensive but everybody needs one or two special pieces in their collection once it reaches a good size.

have a fruit dance party!

I purchased a Antoninus Pius Orichalcum Sestertius for my 50th Roman Imperial ruler.

Im definitely not getting gold - I'm far too poor! Id rather have 900 uncleaned bronzes, personally.

I could get No.51...if It werent already there! As far as my records indicate, the parcel which brings 50 will also bring ruler 51. Perhaps 52 - splash out on the Jovian I've been needing - but id rather find it uncleaned.

However, some of the coins arent portraits - simply issued under the authority of the person. in this way, some coins represent multiple rulers (one of the coins I'm getting represents 3 VIPs I didnt previously have!). So id like to replace those for their respective rulers. (thats Vetranio, Nero and Quintillus at the moment, but will also include 2 more when the parcel arrives - to give a hint of whats to come, those two will be Caligula and Julius Caesar (sort of))

Oooh, come to think of it, I've always wanted a SECULARES issue by phillip and I need a denarius and I need a phillip - saw one for sale for £70 a while back...
