<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2819578, member: 74282&quot;]Well the rules are quite different when it comes to ancients and I think that&#039;s probably the biggest reason you see few people who both collect ancients and US coins as well, or at least who split their time evenly between the two. For one, we are all collecting &quot;details&quot; coins here and even at the higher end of the market, slabs are not(and hopefully never will be) the norm when it comes to ancients, quite different from the US market where most collectors are terrified of buying higher dollar raw coins. On top of that, collecting styles tend to be different as ancients are not quite as clear cut as for instance trying to collect all US denominations for a year or trying to collect all mintmarks or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any reason you can&#039;t collect both ancients and moderns, but I think most people find that they prefer one or the other sooner or later. I&#039;ve met a few who didn&#039;t, but they&#039;re in a very small minority in my experience. That said, I don&#039;t think anyone here will run you off if you collect both Macrinus and Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
