[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8005710, member: 91461"]Just ignore all the bad advice you've received this far. You MUST start your collection cleaning dingy LRBs and identifying them. Then, after months of this when you're at the point that your finger prints have been rubbed off from countless hours of cleaning, you may attempt a 12 Caesar set. Once you've acquired AT LEAST the minimum requisite of 8 of the twelve you may purchase no more than 2 Greek classical or Hellenistic coins (depending on the quality of your 12 Caesars collection you MAY be able to combine the two and own 1 archaic). If at any point you differ from this path your Collection will immediately be deemed lame and you will have to start over, except with the tedium of Byzantine coins! Everything in its order: [ATTACH=full]1388836[/ATTACH] In all seriousness, I think purchasing whatever sings to your eyes when you look at it is the way to go. Then when you find a series of somethings that sing to your eyes, that's when you want to specialize. I've seen numerous folks specialize in something just to specialize and then they get burned out on the topic and sell their collections or have coins they're not passionate about taking up space. I continue to find more and more dope areas that sing to me, but I don't forsee anything singing more loudly to me than: [ATTACH=full]1388837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388840[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388842[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
