[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2191556, member: 44316"]I must say I like what EDDOP has done by selecting a specialty, collecting the series, and putting out information about it. There are an unlimited number of ancient-coin collecting specialties (unlike US coin collecting) and anyone can choose an unusual interest and enjoy the process of collecting both the coins and the corresponding information. In the process, you become an expert, at least in that area. There is a lot of pleasure and satisfaction in that approach. Years ago, when [I]The Celator[/I] was still being published, the lead article was often by a collector who had assembled enough coins and information to write an article about some reverse type, or coinage from some particular city, or emperor, or deity, or whatever interested them enough to (at least partially) specialize in that category. If you get a chance, read back issues of [I]The Celator[/I] and learn a lot about many varied areas of interest (which would now more likely provoke websites).[/QUOTE]
