Message:: [QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3717302, member: 98035"]No real limit here. I used to try to limit my Romans to just one per emperor, but I'm increasingly toying with the idea of adding on to the emperors who are hard to capture in just one coin. After I get the last few holes filled, I am thinking about giving the budget a break for a while and then starting the "one each" theme again but in sestertii through Gallienus. Indo Sassanian coins I have hit the point where I only add coins that contribute another piece of the puzzle - I still have to be over 500 by now, and have a long, long way left to go. Besides these two main areas of focus, the rest of my collection is eclectic and has little rhyme or reason - the only criteria being that if I can't write a short paragraph explaining why a coin is cool, I won't collect it! My ancients, unfortunately, are only a tiny portion of my overall collection - before discovering ancients, I spent a few months (and thankfully only a few hundred $) amassing inexpensive world coins. Before that, I hoarded coins from roll hunting... hundreds of BU half dollars and thousands of cents and nickels. Even fairly well-organized it all takes up too much space and weighs over a hundred pounds, but not counting the silver, it's all worth peanuts compared to the "real" collection, so it's hard to part with it.[/QUOTE]
