Hi Erin! I am glad you are here!

I always though Harpsichord was cool music. The plucking of the strings vs. a velvet hammer gave a cool sound.

I have a couple of these in the Silver Versions

For my World Travel Coins: However the BEST STORAGE, EVER, is how I store all my loose world coins that I have collected over the years from my business travels: (I have a few jars of them...)THIS is the BEST way to store them. When the Grandkids come over, I just POUR them out on the floor. We talk about the coins, where they were from. They get to play with them, and keep a few! There are at least 35 country's worth of coins in there that I have traveled. Big fun for me to reminisce and fun for the Grandkids to ask questions!

I presently store them in saflips, and into albums. However, I have recently reconsidered, and have finally acquiesced to @dougsmit's advice over the years: simple storage in coin envelopes, and coin boxes. I had to move, and found when I removed my coins from my albums, and put them into coin boxes... it was amazing how much storage space I saved! Moving the coins from Saflips to Coin Envelopes will be my upcoming project. I also plan to finally use @Bing's super Excel spreadsheet filing system. But, too lazy or busy now.... will do this when I finally "retire". OLD METHOD of Mine: I use 2x4 open Saflips in Albums so that I have the attributes for each side as I view the coin. 6 Saflips per page. Provenance captured in Saflip and/or customs and other provenance papers captured in a folder.Album: Desiccant Pages in front and back; 6 slot open Saflips as 2 x 4; Attributes on front and back in top pocket of Saflip; can flip page to see obv and rev. and attributes on both side for each coin; Each album page separated by 100 lb archival card stock.; Album slides into Archival safe Album Cover. Perfect for my Home Safes as well as my Bank Safe. Easy to view, present, store.Card stock gives a background, as well as "padding" between the album pages.Desiccant pages in books, desiccant packets in Safes.Easy-access active Glocks, Rugers, S&W's program in place.

MY GO-TO's: I acquired (from Warren Esty), a Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum for North Africa Syrtica-Mauretania from 1969 PLATE BOOK that illustrates each of my coins. Nice Large reference at approx 15.5" x 11.5" (39 x 29 cm) that illustrates a nice chunk of Carthage issues. - SNG Copenhagen, the original "North Africa, Syrtica, and Mauretania"(Warren Esty helped me get this! @Valentinian) - My focus on Carthage - Sear / Seaby - Roman Coins I & II - Especially book I for my Roman Republic focus- Sear / Seaby - Greek Coins I & II - My Makedon, Diadochi, Carthage, and Sicily focus- Thurlow & Vecchi - Italian Cast Coinage - My focus on Aes Grave- David Hartill - Cast Chinese Coinage- Flinders Petrie - Historical Scarabs (with several other Egyptian / Scarab books) - opens a whole new world of Historical collecting beyond coinage. CarthageThird Punic War with Rome 149-146 BCEBillon Serrate Double Shekel12.83g, 26mm.Obv: Wreathed head of Tanit leftRev: Horse standing right, pellet below raised left legRef: SNG Copenhagen 403.Comment: Very fine, several (cleaning?) scratches.Notes:Scarce. From the last issue of Carthage before its destruction by a vengeful Rome following the Third Punic War (149-146 BC). The serrate edge is found on both Electrum and Billon coins of the period and is similar to the flan treatments of contemporary Macedonian and Seleukid bronze coins. The reason for this added detail remains a mystery. SCARCE (only 2 listed on ACSearch.)Jenkins & Lewis pl. 28, 14; MAA 100b; cf.

Dattari Collection Egypt, Alexandria. Dattari. In the name of Livia, wife of Augustus Diobol circa 1-2 (year 31), Æ 23.5mm., 7.46g. Draped bust r. Rev. Athena standing l., holding Nike and leaning on shield; L-ΛA. Dattari-Savio Pl. 3, 60 (this coin). RPC pag. 692, 5 (this coin cited).Very rare. Nice brown-green tone. Very FineFrom the Dattari collection.In our opinion is correct the interpretation of Dattari on this coin and the date shown on the Rev. is L-ΛA and not LMA as suggested from RPC.

Thank you for the update!
