<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3718027, member: 74968"]I currently have 98 coins in my collection. 5 of those are bronze and the rest are silver. I do place limits on my collection in terms of my chosen focus. I collect the coins of the 12 Caesars. There is plenty of variety within this specialty to last me several lifetimes. This does not mean I do not buy the odd coin outside of this specialty. I do and will continue to do so. I am interested in coins that have a pedigree or an interesting collecting history behind them. I deliberately seek them out. I like the idea of knowing who had the coins before I did because once again it adds to the history associated with the coins. I like to think that each coin has a story associated with it. I like knowing some of this story for each of the coins I own if possible.

[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3718027, member: 74968"]I currently have 98 coins in my collection. 5 of those are bronze and the rest are silver. I do place limits on my collection in terms of my chosen focus. I collect the coins of the 12 Caesars. There is plenty of variety within this specialty to last me several lifetimes. This does not mean I do not buy the odd coin outside of this specialty.

As to numerical limits, I would like to keep my collection confined to 2 Abafil cases. Anymore than that and they just take up too much space. Since my collection is more than 90% denarii, this gives me lots of room to expand my collection for many years to come. Lately I have found myself researching and writing about the denarii of Domitian. The coins of his first year as Augustus are fascinating to me and I would love to have more of them. I might even dedicate an Abafil case specifically to the coinage of Domitian.[/QUOTE]
