[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 5300465, member: 75937"]I think there's a difference between being out of one's comfort zone and coins one thinks are boring. My comfort zone is limited. It's pretty much the coins of the Roman principate, both imperial and provincial. I get a little less comfortable with coins of the Roman dominate or Roman Republic, though I have numerous references and can attribute just about any coin from these areas. Byzantine coins are barely in my comfort zone and I have a hard time attributing worn/poorly struck examples. Greek coins are out of my comfort zone, but I can read Greek and have many Greek references. Nonetheless, there are many Greek coins I would have a hard time attributing. Indo-Greek are even more out of my comfort zone. East Asian, South Asian and Islamic coins are well out of my comfort zone and I couldn't attribute any of them. So here's one that's out of my comfort zone. But does it make me go "meh"? [ATTACH=full]1223371[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
