All genuine fren, thanks. Aside from scrapsperging I have pretty vast collections of ancient antiquities (weapons, projectiles and tools mostly) plus a few thousand ancient coins as well. Nice denarius btw, solid strike and good flan.

Check this middle Bronze age (~3,300 years old) anoxic bog found riveted dagger from the Netherlands and ancient Danube river gravelbar-found late bronze age utilitarian tanged knife with their original bone handles intact. I've seen hundreds of faked handles on bronze age blades over the years but these are legit. Not too dramatic to a noob but they are among my most prized pieces, it's absolutely extraordinary holding the same surfaces as the ancients and studying the ancient usage wear patterns they left on something so old and usually perishable and turned to dust in most burial conditions. Coins are nice but superbly preserved artifacts like this are fundamentally unique and exceptionally personal, truly fascinating to me.

Haven't been collecting much this year though, 95% is going into bullion and miners, I can start collecting again when the boomer collectors begin going bankrupt and their collections get auctioned off for peanuts. It'll be glorious.
