I'm curious what you're up to! 🙂 Are you rephotographing or reorganizing, or is this a 20 year old acquisition that was never "onboarded" ?

maridvnvm Posted March 10 · Member Author Share Posted March 10 I am rephotographing and reorganising. In the last 25 years I have found my collecting themes. I am now going through the early purchases and taking stock as to whether they are core to my collection, whether they should leave my collection or whether I even have a "keep pile" forming a non-core collection. Coins I part with now will go towards my main collections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coins I part with now will go towards my main collections. When I have occasionally taken stock of "coins I already have" I enjoy the three categories that I usually find: - coins that I am thrilled to have - coins that I forgot that I owned - coins I am happy to part with I keep a box for the last category that eventually makes it to an auction house to fund more in the first two categories. Here's an old friend, Gallienus (AD 260 - AD 268)/ MARTI PACIFERO (RIC 236), purchased while I was living in the UK ~30 years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maridvnvm Posted March 10 · Member Author Share Posted March 10 Here is another old purchase that I have stumbles across. This one joins the Florian above in the "keep me" pile. Numerian Obv:– IMP C NVMERIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev:– PACATO-R ORBIS, Emperor advancing right, holding shield and sword, captive, cowering beneath Minted in Lugdunum (C in exe) Emission 9 Officina 3. Summer A.D. 284 Reference:– Cohen 41 (30 F). Bastien 618 (2 examples cited). RIC 390 Bust type F var (Officina). The coin appears to be billon rather than silvered and is the ONLY occurence of this reverse type. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
