Thanks, southsav! Life circumstances have ofttimes forced my hand to sell off large portions of my collection, but I've been able to slowly rebuild. Focusing primarily on the larger specimens of Roman coin, because (as an artist) I am attracted to the portraiture. It took a very long time for me to find a portrait of Claudius that I found appealing. To answer your question, travelcoin: What you see there is my entire collection. Although the great majority of the coins pictured are recent acquisitions (within the last two years). My favorite, Spence, is the large sestertius of a youthful Hadrian. I purchased it some twenty years ago, and rarely see that type offered for sale. The Galba was the culmination of a decades-long hunt for a good specimen at a decent price. The two Greek coins: couldn't resist Mithradates VI. One of the Roman Republic's greatest foes! The large Hieron II represents my familial connection to Sicily, and again...a foe of Roman expansion (until finally forced to see things more...pragmatically).
