[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7784926, member: 115909"]Holy smokes you collect a ton of stuff! o_O I’m just worried my collection is becoming an “accumulation” rather than a collection. Things get even more complicated when I factor in that I collect pre-WW2 US coins. I saw photos of a collection on a different forum and the guy who shared them collected “ancient coins with lions & eagles on them”. It was incredible!! O_O Seeing all those shiny silver & gold coins with different styles of lions & eagles on them was breathtaking. I want my collection to be like that where there is a theme. I guess the hard part is trying to come up with a theme that includes the stuff I like. But I’m not really a fan of the copper/brass/orichalcum coinage. I know some people are and I understand why they like them but they just don’t appeal to my own personal taste. Mostly because without my glasses it’s hard to see the designs after they tone all dark (like this one) and then some of them start turning green. [ATTACH=full]1335878[/ATTACH] I’ve just always liked silver, and (when I can afford it) gold coinage. Even when I first started collecting US coinage before I collected ancients I always liked the silver coins like the Morgan Dollar (of course!), Seated Liberty coinage and Barber coinage. I never really got into the Lincoln Cents. But I guess it’s kind of like music. Everyone likes their own thing but none of them are “wrong” per se. Just different.[/QUOTE]
