[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3567653, member: 74968"]My journey was a little different. I started by reading for several months. At the same time I was going to coin shows talking to dealers and experts. As a result of this I decided I wanted to collect the 12 Caesars in silver, and anything else I found interesting. When I finally bought my first coin it was an Otho denarius. It went through the hands of several experts before I bought it. I really enjoy the method where you have an idea of what you want before buying it. This does not mean however that one cannot be open to interesting finds when they come along. Several months ago I consigned all of my non 12 Caesars coins to an auction house (with 4-5 exceptions). Since then I have found new avenues of collecting within the parameters of the 12 Caesars. I have not regretted the decision at all. In fact, by narrowing the focus I have made interesting discoveries within this focus. In short, there is no correct way to do this. My way works really well for me. For me the most important rule is to have fun. I am having fun so therefore I am doing it correctly...for me.[/QUOTE]
