<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3567592, member: 76440&quot;]I&#039;m always impressed by how well [USER=19615]@Volodya[/USER] and [USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] stick to their collecting criteria and goals.&nbsp; Personally, I have a tougher time of it.&nbsp; Many times I&#039;ll buy coins that either I regret later or that retrospectively don&#039;t excite me.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to use more restraint.&nbsp; Ideally, each coin should be additive, not in number but in focus or scope.&nbsp; I try to maintain consistent quality within reason, but that too is a challenge at times.&nbsp; Eventually, culling and refocusing of resources needs to be part of the collecting equation.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been engaging in some of that lately, by selling off some of my Roman Imperial and Greek coins.&nbsp; Proceeds have been used to acquire some decent Imperatorials, which my collection really needed. Soon, I&#039;ll start picking some Roman Republican &quot;mistakes&quot; for deaccessioning. This is part of curating any collection and will hopefully result in a better final (?) product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
