[QUOTE="JulesUK, post: 4313623, member: 107940"]I am so in awe of that collection and other subsequent posts. Bravo. (Hugely envious). As for my goals, i am kind of following along the same route as [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] whereby I have a budget and if a coin is appealing enough to me I will bid/purchase.....so many distractions! However, that being said, as new collector, I feel having goals is essential so as to be able to focus down to one or two areas of collection to provide a longer term approach to my hobby, and thereby keep my interest. So, goal numero uno is Roman Provincials, preferably with a mythological theme, but not always. I just find them fascinating and somewhat easier to collect than Greek. Second is the Zoo family of Gallienus, a definite probability to complete, one day..... Next comes Constantine I and related family and offspring ending at Julian II. (More on that in days to come). A big goal i know. And a study of the different Roman mints.....long term project. Finally, the best goal of all, to keep learning and absorbing the beauty of these pieces of history, these works of art, that we have been entrusted with.[/QUOTE]
