<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2765353, member: 74282&quot;]I at first tried to collect both ancients and moderns but found that per dollar I enjoyed ancients more than moderns, and because of this, my budget was better spent on ancients. I also wasn&#039;t a big fan of slabs and didn&#039;t see it being possible to seriously collect moderns in my average price range($100-$300) without paying the slab tax, so that was probably what finally drove me over the edge. I ended up selling virtually all my moderns, bullion, etc. and putting the money towards ancients and building out a library for studying ancients. I later did the same thing with many of my ancients so I could focus on the Roman Republic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really regret it, though the fact that I don&#039;t collect moderns means that I have to do most of my shopping online as my local coin stores, coin shows and coin clubs are all focused on moderns. That said, there are plenty of great resources and groups online to study, discuss and purchase ancients, so I don&#039;t feel that I&#039;m missing out on too much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
