MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 8:10 pm I've posted various updates on this collection in the past. Quite a long time ago I decided to figure out 60 notable historical figures and create a collection of coins of, or representing those figures. Seen here: http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...e=1&sotmp=no This 1st Century B.C. Arverni coin to represent Vercingetorix completes this endeavor. Vercingetorix (52 - 46 B.C.)

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 655 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 8:18 pm Nice to see pre roman coins being appreciated. This one must be rare? And shows some wear. So the romans have let it be used after defeating Vercingetorix! Report this Post to the Staff

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 4:40 pm Thanks guys. John1, next is to complete my Roman Imperial Collection. I only need Valentinian III, Gordian II, Didius Julianis and Contstantius III. Constantius III is probably not going to happen at least for a while and I just lost a bid on both Gordian II and Julianus. I am just waiting on the right Solidus of Valentinian III.

That's a great topic! Once a collector decides he does not have to play the "I need slabs in MS66" game, there are so many neat collecting goals to invent and work on. However, I hope his does not mean you are done with collecting. Time for another goal! Report this Post to the Staff
