[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 4313092, member: 4298"]Excellent RIC grid Rasiel. I checked and am at about 2/3 of it, even though completing the set isn't a goal for me : I just cherrypick the ones that talk to me. As for my goals, I'm trying to complete a Dombes principality set (types and years, but not the too numerous legend variations, that would be infinite...). I'm at 70% of it, some of the last ones will be tough to get... I've had in the past some very modest goals, such as the Trajan Decius Divi series and Plautilla denarii, both achieved, but it took many years at the end [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/080-Diviseriess.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0191-a01s.JPG[/IMG] I've started other sets too, but on a more dilettant mode, such as Syro-phenician tetradrachms, Diana Lucifera reverses, She wolf suckling twins reverses. Why those ? I don't know. I mean, I [I]really [/I]don't know. I think the theme chooses you rather than the opposite. On a more modern side of coin collecting I have a british coins series, with no particular goal other than trying to get reasonnably well preserved types as cheap as I can, in loving memory of my best friend Pete (an english guy) who passed away seven years ago and whose partner found a box full of british coins that she gave me after his funeral.
