Spent about a half hour

Weiss

going through Smeagle's online coin album this morning.

What a visual feast. Each piece better than the last. Curated with the eye of a connoisseur. Talk about a voyeuristic fantasy.

Absolutely stunning collection!

Zohar

Something to aspire for. Wonderfully done!

NiceCurrency

it is absolutely breath taking, better than museum quality pieces, just great great pieces of ancient artwork that just so happened to be money

TIF2

It is a breathtaking collection, meticulously photographed and well-presented-- a joy to behold.

Swampboy

That collection is a treat to enjoy. It's wonderful virtual museum and simply an awesome endeavor.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the compliments! I've fallen woefully behind in writing descriptions for my newer purchases, but will eventually catch up!

NiceCurrency

I shared this on facebook and many people enjoyed it

I spent a long time on it yesterday on my tablet, I still haven't seen and read every coin but fully intend to

At some point I would love to see this collection published in printed form.

I just re-read the write-up on the gold Aureus of Vespasian, for sheer history what other coin can touch it?

Agree 100% on all fronts.

I particularly like the interactive approach, asking the viewer to choose between Rome and Greece, and then presenting each coin as a chapter of history (rather than simply displaying thumbnails in chronological order or by type as most of us have).

I would totally buy a premium quality coffee table book version. I say coffee table because they tend to be larger format (with bigger images).

I would purchase this as well

this is in line with if not better than the 100 greatest ancient coins book, so many pieces you have here are finest known, and the images are phenomenal, but it's really your write ups that bring the whole thing together, I know bits and pieces of the history of "greece" and "rome" but I find myself learning on every coin you wrote up


founder and president of PCGS Currency had this to say:

Jason William Bradford Some of these pieces are incredible. Really quite amazing.

I am sorry, I can be dense, but I do not understand what this is in reference to:

"Jason William Bradford Some of these pieces are incredible. Really quite amazing.

Thanks! It would be quite enjoyable to put together a coffee table book, although the challenge will be finding the right time to do so, at a point where I've reached somewhat of a cadence in acquisitions.

I'm chasing a dozen coins over the space of the next month which will fill some missing spaces in my collection, but there are definitely some pieces which I feel are "necessary" to tell the story. Granted, there could always be a second edition

Aha! So he's a scholar AND a business man.

Impressive and cool
