User:Nicolas Perrault III/Coin collection
Appearance
I select for the following criteria when buying silver coins:
- High artistic value.
- High grade.
- Silver-like appearance, although colourful toning can be nice. In the late third century, I try to get the coins with the most remaining surface silver.
The numbers in brackets are the years or year-ranges in which coins were minted.
Square brackets are those I got as gifts:
- [BNC-2018]: from Brasenose College for my master's thesis on the Iberomaurusian, June 2018.
- [pg-25]: from my parents and grandparents for my 25th birthday, July 2018.
- [g-27]: from my grandparents for my 27th birthday, July 2020.
- [w-W1]: from my wife for our 1st wedding anniversary, Aug 2020.
- [w-N2020]: from my wife for no particular occasion, 2020
