<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3032176, member: 56859&quot;]I agree with [USER=74834]@Pellinore[/USER]&nbsp; (Roman [Imperial] coins invite the hole-filling style of collecting) and with [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] (collect whatever you want however you want; it&#039;s <i>your</i> hobby).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d guess that if a person is coming to ancients from a formerly modern collecting mode, transitioning by the hole-filling approach would be more familiar and comfortable, especially for those folks with a strong &quot;completionist&quot; drive.&nbsp; &nbsp; Although, when it comes to ancient coins, determining what &quot;complete&quot; means with regards to any type of set is a challenge!&nbsp; Defining your set is part of the fun and allows for some originality <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a hole filler in part because I&#039;d need more money <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I tend to buy whatever appeals to me for whatever reason, and if I were to try to fill holes I&#039;d have to reserve funds for some coins which otherwise hold little interest for me, or whose price far exceeds the appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Correction:&nbsp; maybe I <i>am</i> a bit of a hole filler <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />-- there are some subsets for which I hope to someday have reasonably complete representation, and in my first months of collecting I did put together a wacky set (Pink Floyd Animals on Ancient Coins) and in haste/exuberance bought a few stinkers for that set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
