[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 770446, member: 16269"]Just looking for some advice. I've done very well recently with some of my coin/paper money deals and I have some spare cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've been intrigued by some of the ancient and medieval gold coins I've been seeing on some of the more reliable ancient coin sites. My local coin shops don't carry these and when they do get them they are usually over-priced, poor examples of ones that I can purchase on the internet sites for sometimes far less. I was thinking of collecting examples from different time periods (Roman Empire, Greek, Celtic, Byzantine Empire etc.) just to have a representation, similar to making a type set. I'm looking to spend about $500-$700 each. Would something like this be possible for relatively good examples of xf and better? Also, should I stick strickly with gold solidus coins or would gold hyperpyron coins be so different that they would be out of place in such a collection?[/QUOTE]
