VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 11:25 pm My main collection consists of my Roman, Byzantine, and early Germanic and other Dark Ages coinage. Between those three I have, as of 5/19/2014: - 298 attributed coins - 99 rulers (emperors, empresses, Caesars, kings, etc.) - 13 nations/states (Roman Republic, Roman Empire, West/Eastern Roman, Carolingian Empire, Ostrogothic Kingdom, etc.) - Coins from 39 mints - The top 5 rulers I'd say are my rarest (in no particular order): Libius Severus (Western Roman), Louis the Pious (Carolingian), Theodahad (Ostrogothic), Gelimer (Vandalic), Majorian (Western Roman) - 1 gold, ~22 silver, the rest bronze or silver-plated bronze In addition, with all of my attributed and unattributed coins, and including those ancient/medieval not in my main collection, my entire ancient/medieval collection ranges from early 4th century BC to 1482 AD, a span of over 1900 years, from the days of ancient Carthage, to the beginning of the Early Modern era and the Age of Discovery. How does your collection look like? Edited by VisigothKing 05/19/2014 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 11:26 pm Oh and don't mind my "Attributed coins in my collection so far" in my sig; it's somewhat outdated. And your stats don't have to be set up exactly like mine. Edited by VisigothKing 05/19/2014 11:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have 78 coins in this collection so far. I also have a few secondary collections. My Notable Historical Figures collection currently contains 32 coins representing (what else, notable historical figures) ranging from Pericles to Queen Elizabeth II.
