MILLENNIUM COLLECTION
There is still another variation on this theme that is available to enthusiasts of ancient coinage: the Millennium Collection. This is a collection that includes an example of a coin from each century, beginning in 700 B.C. and ending in the 15th century. The collection can include gold, silver or copper coinage, or a combination of the three. With so many centuries included and numerous issues and metals, there is a great deal of leeway or a collector to form his own collection based on his own particular interests.
