[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7784728, member: 80952"]100% agree- collect whatever you like. But don't expect to find ALL denominations for all the emperors. Not all of them issued quadrantes. And uncia, if I'm not mistaking, was briefly revived under Hadrian and that's it. Now my personal advice for you - collect [B]what you like, [/B]exactly what [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] said. Would you like to specialize on a dynasty or a period, like some CT members here? go for it. Do you like a certain emperor? read all about him, his reign, his relatives and buy the coins. And study and get [B]the coins you like. [/B] Collecting ancient coins, especially as a beginner, is not as stiff as collecting modern coins, when defining an area of interest. When I started it, I wanted to learn as much as I can about 1st and 2nd century AD Roman coins. Branched out a little as I stopped being afraid of Greek coins. And also started to like provincials. So my personal goals are - 1st/2nd/3rd century RIC and Provincials - trying to complete 3 sets of 12 Caesars, 1 in bronze Imperial, 1 in silver Imperial, 1 in provincials (and most likely this is not going to happen) - coins with empresses - Greek coins with designs I like - mythological scenes and animals What are your goals? Find out what you like and invest money and time in that direction.[/QUOTE]
