<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2153580, member: 26302&quot;]I would echo others here OP. Collect what becomes of interest to you. Eventually you will find your niche you wish to pursue further. I practice this myself. Admittedly I am a hoarder of coins, but I actually have many mini collections going constantly. My main focus, I guess, would be sogdian and Persian coins, but also Byzantine and certain Roman periods.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Having said all of that, I buy what I can when I can. A few weeks ago a coin club member who has metal detected in England for decades wanted to get rid of coins. I bought an Alex III tet from Babylon and a ton&nbsp; London mint romans, some gXF. Then just this weekend I visited my local world coin dealer who keeps ancients for me and he had a group of coins for me. 13 total, two were Judaic coins but in B Max Mehl envelopes. The other 11 were mainly roman Egypt tets, Nero/Poppea, Nero/Augustus, etc. So, were these really in my specialty areas? No, but I liked the coins and the price. Buy interesting coins when and where you find them, don&#039;t get pigeon holed into only buying one thing. Yes, avoid buying low quality where you will not like the coin long term, but do not be afraid to reach out and explore new areas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
