[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8005505, member: 80952"]I am probably in the same boat. When a coin draws my attention, these 2 conditions must be met - the coin needs to be visually appealing, this would mean the condition to be good enough for me and also to depict something interesting - it needs to be in my areas of interest. On this, like in [USER=118005]@Mrktstrtmyhm[/USER]'s case, my areas are large. It's easier to mention areas I am not interested in - such as Byzantine or Asian coins. For now, my advice is to keep buying what you really like and then study the history of the region/period/ruler and see if something really draws your interest and you feel the need to develop. For example when I started I wanted to develop my collection on Trajan. I managed to acquire 12 coins (2 provincial and 10 imperial) but I don't think I will go much deeper, except if I find some interesting reverses.[/QUOTE]
