I would suggest slowing down just a little. Sometimes as we get deeper into the hobby we realize that some of our tastes are drawn to certain areas or away from others, and its easy to find oneself with some coins we probably would not have bought now that we've acquired more experience. This is especially so given how broad the entire ancients field is (certainly happened to me and others here). I'll make some further suggestions, and I hope you take them for what they are...just friendly advise. I'm not in any way trying to criticize your current collection, which is a fine collection. 1. Spend a little time looking into Greek coinage. 2. If Romans are more your thing, perhaps look at Roman Republic coinage. And if you like female Romans on coins, Roman goddesses and the personification of Roma on Republican era coinage would also make for some fun collecting. 3.
