<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3032185, member: 75937&quot;]Well, aren&#039;t we all hole-fillers to some degree? Surely we all have various interests, subsets, and such and probably most of us have checklists of one sort or other. I have several. However, my main motivation is not to complete some sort of pre-defined set, but to acquire coins I like without unnecessary duplication. Because I&#039;m not a millionaire, there is a certain hierarchy to what I bid on at auction or put on my want list at V-coins (I&#039;ll choose a &quot;zoo&quot; coin of Gallienus, for example, over one of his VIRTVS issues, or a provincial Gordian and Tranquillina marriage issue over yet another Septimius Severus provincial from Marcianopolis), but I have so many subsets going and various interests that I&#039;m really more like a magpie: &quot;Oooh! Look at that -- a veiled bust of Faustina!&quot; or &quot;That&#039;s a really cool lion on the reverse!&quot; or &quot;Oooh! An antoninianus of Herennia Etruscilla from the Antioch mint! You don&#039;t run across THOSE every day!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
