[QUOTE="Ian, post: 22288, member: 283"]Right now i'm being pulled in a number of directions interest wise. My problem is that I find it incredibly difficult to let go of the ones I already have. `Magpie - itis' is a cursed affliction. :-) I can readily equate to your being attracted to the mediaeval coinages. There are some really beautiful mediaeval european gold coins (and silver too). There are some really really beautiful ancient gold coinages, which tend to grab my attention a little bit more however.. The cost of it is, shall we say, `restrictive' and as such I think it places the interest field `over there' as far me and most other collectors are concerned. Of course it is do-able for anyone with sufficient intent, (and the ability to live constantly in debt? ) but for most people, collecting either ancient or mediaeval gold is more in the realm of `field of dreams' than reality. I might just sell off my `surplus to requirements' (ie 1800's gold) and go for one or two ancients (or angels) with the proceeds. Ian[/QUOTE]
