<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 3039965, member: 24754&quot;]I only became interested in Roman coins recently, but it&#039;s been a long time since I&#039;ve been this enthusiastic and enthralled with a collecting prospect. The thing that I like most about my collections is showing them to people, and having interesting stories to tell about each example. You can&#039;t beat Roman coins for that! Fascinating stories abound!</p><p><br /></p><p>My initial assumption was that busts on these coins were primarily restricted to the ruling Emperor. But, the Emperor stories that I&#039;m learning about involve mothers, sisters, generals, failed usurpers, etc, etc, and what do you know? There are usually coins of all those people also! How wonderful would it be to tell an Emperor&#039;s story and have bust examples for each of the supporting characters! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But, I have to reign in those types of impulses. I stay more motivated if I&#039;m working toward an end goal, and a focused collection definition is required in order to do that. My current definition may even be a bit over-ambitious. I guess I&#039;ll figure it out in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I can&#039;t &quot;Keep it legal&quot; just yet. My first coins have only just been put in the mail haha.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
