    Did I break this discussion?

    You just gotta let us know the next theme you would like to pursue!

    My current "Box of 20"

    He did. Roman numerals date, before 1850.

    I ain’t got none. :(

    So yeah, it broke down, but that happens, and is why there is the 24-hour rule. Anybody can start a new theme after 24 hours if the thing stalls.

    24-hour rule. Reset with new theme.

    Let’s do something easy, like… cats.

    Greece (Thrace, Pantakapaion): ca. 310-303 BC bronze Æ21.

    The obverse features Pan (or a satyr). The reverse a griffin.

    Below the griffin is a sturgeon, which, as all fish, is an underwater creature.

    Next- more griffins… or fish.

    You have to look hard, but there is a fish in here: :D

    And to make things a little more interesting I’m going to add some more fish, not a coin, but very very cool:
    and silver

    Next theme, a very majestic lion…

  • bigmarty58bigmarty58 Posts: 2,002 ✭✭✭✭✭


    Next Theme, a bird...

    Next, a victory arch.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
  • ClioClio Posts: 542 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Un earthing this thread because I used to really enjoy it. I don't have a victory arch coin but I think it's been long enough I can just fire it up again with a new suggestion.

    Next: Coin with a single globe.
