Ancient Coins
Like most coin collectors, I have a list of coins I want to own.
The list I plan to cover in this article will be personal and not just a list of the most famous ancient coins, so I won’t be listing
decadrachms,
pentadrachms. It’s not that I
wouldn’t love to own one or all of these, but their cost is not only out of my purchasing range but greater than my net worth. And even if I
had the money and bought the coins, my wife would kill me and bury me in the back yard, which is a very powerful disincentive.
