<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 8005604, member: 104741&quot;]A mish-mash sounds just fine, [USER=118005]@Mrktstrtmyhm[/USER]!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Do as you please, it&#039;s your collection and yours alone. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, as time goes on (and as Roman Collector said) chances are you&#039;ll probably become focused on one or several areas. And in turn, these areas may change over time. It&#039;s natural. That is what happened (and is still happening) to me, and probably to most of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I found that a big part of the fun is not just the coin itself (even though it&#039;s great fun), but also the story coins tell between them. Having some semblance of coherence in your collection (and I&#039;m still struggling there myself <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) makes it easier and more pleasing to see and appreciate all the connections, convergences, influences, and contrasts between the differrent styles, types, kingdoms and cultures. By arranging (and rearranging) the coins you can change the focus of the story they tell between them. It&#039;s really great! Also, having several coins from one place or time may suddenly open your eyes to subtle differences you wouldn&#039;t have noticed if you had only one coin of the place or time. And often these small differences can tell a whole interesting story themselves. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, you can&#039;t go wrong. It&#039;s a great hobby...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
