<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1252770, member: 26302"]Great point actually. If anyone really like small details, and collecting varieties, ancients are a field day to them versus most other areas of numismatics. I completed a set of anonymous bronzes once, and had numerous different types of Class I coins. I started researching and found even more types. Class I, (which for some reason I personally like), have loads of different reverse types that someone could pursue. This pursuit could last decades I am imagining, all on a "common" coin that you would be lucky if the dealer even listed it as a Class I, versus Anonmyous Byzantine. I am not the best at pursuing such areas, so I lost interest, (I lost intereset in US set collecting when I was 12, thinking, "why do I want 80 different wheat cents just because someone says I have to have them?"), but others who love such variations can cheaply become one of the world's experts very easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
