<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2153548, member: 44132&quot;]Like everyone else, I have no real strategy.&nbsp; I began by collecting the Twelve Caesars in silver which took some time.&nbsp; Not because of Otho, but Caligula and Claudius.&nbsp; If you are not familiar with the book The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius, you should get the book (take a lot of what Suetonius says with a grain of salt).&nbsp; Anyway, a lot of people begin by trying to put together a collection of the twelve.&nbsp; In the meantime while looking for coins of the twelve you will see other coins that strike your interest and thus find your own way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting for much longer than I care to remember, but I can see where I&#039;ve changed my interests over the years.&nbsp; One thing Paul M. said I find was true for me.&nbsp; Find coins you will be glad to have for years to come.&nbsp; I now try to find interesting, well struck reverses within my budget, and for the past couple of years I have focused on Roman Republican.&nbsp; Not exclusively mind you.&nbsp; When I am looking through coins for sale, I am constantly reminding myself I can&#039;t have them all and to keep my eye open for those interesting/different reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like JA said, if you can find something out of this that helps you on your way, I am glad to help.&nbsp; Speaking for everyone here, we will be looking forward to seeing what you buy and what direction you decided for your collection.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
